Sonia is the second album by British pop star Sonia, released in October 1991 on the independent label IQ. Having parted company with Stock Aitken Waterman, the album was produced by Nigel Wright and for the first time Sonia co-wrote some of the songs.

The album features the singles "Only Fools (Never Fall in Love)", "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" and "You to Me Are Everything",^[2] all of which were hits in the UK Singles Chart, while the album itself reached No.33.^[3]

The album was repackaged and released as a debut album in the US in 1992, while the album was further repackaged and released in Japan, both met with little success however.^[4] Following this, Sonia signed a new record deal with Arista Records when she agreed to take part in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest.
