"Am I Not Your Girl?" is the third album by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor and the follow up to the hugely successful "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". It is a collection of covers of jazz standards, which Sinead describes as "the songs that she grew up listening to and that made me want to become a singer".

The album is dedicated to the people of New York City and especially the homeless whom Sinéad met at St. Mark's Place Booklet of "Am I Not Your Girl"]

The album did not gain much critical acclaim, particularly because Sinéad had become a major artist in the rock / pop genre after her previous album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" and this album was set in the period between 1920 and 1940 which was not a popular musical period. This, coupled with the Garden State Arts Center controversy and an introduction in the album in which she mentions sexual abuse, addiction, emotional abuse, and asks " est le roi Perdu? if you're out there - I want to see you." , led to Sinéad losing much of the commercial momentum her career had built up until then.

The album sold 1,500,000 copies worldwide.
