I Don't Believe We've Met is the second studio album by American country music singer Danielle Bradbery. It was released on December 1, 2017. The album title, cover, and track listing were revealed on August 4, 2017.[2] According to Bradbery, the album serves as her "reintroduction" into the music world, for it had been four years since the release of her debut album, in 2013.[3] This is her first album to have a crossover-friendly country-pop sound which was a departure from the neotraditional country sound from her debut album.

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 41 on Billboard 200,[4] No. 6 on Top Country Albums, selling 11,100 copies (15,000 album-equivalent units) in the first week.[5][6] As of March 2018, the album has sold 21,900 copies in the United States.[7]
