On My Own is Brandon Paris Band's first studio album. It includes the hit single, "Rewind and Start Again". Their debut album's first single, "Rewind and Start Again", was a huge success on commercial radio after being released on March 13, 2006. The song climbed up to top 20 on the Canadian CHR charts (tracked by Radio & Records (Billboard Information Group)).^[1] The second single, "Somebody to Hold" was also well received in many cities. It peaked at #53.^{[clarification needed]} Koch Entertainment, Brandon Paris Band's record label, decided to release "Give Me a Reason" only a month after the release of 'Somebody to Hold', in hopes of getting better results, but to their dismay it was not enough to reach top 40 status. "Give Me a Reason" peaked at #77 CHR. Brandon Paris Band was nominated for Best New Group or Solo Artist (CHR) by the Canadian Radio Music Awards in spring of 2007.^[2]

Vancouver-based record producer Troy Samson of Hipjoint Productions^[3] (Moka Only, Kreesha Turner, Snoop Dogg) and Jeff Dawson ^[4] (State of Shock, Kelly Rowland, Daniel Powter, Marcy Playground) co-produced 6 of the songs on the album with Brandon Paris.
