Sean Kingston is the self-titled eponymous debut album by Sean Kingston, released on July 31, 2007. The album was produced by J. R. Rotem. Sean Kingston wrote the lyrics with help from Evan Bogart. Kingston has claimed his lyrics are totally representative of his personal life. Ranging from the self-deprecating-schoolboy tale of lost love in the album's global chart-topping single "Beautiful Girls" to the much deeper "Dry Your Eyes", where he visits the hardship of watching his mother and sister being sent to prison when he was just 15 years old.
The album has been certified gold by the RIAA as of February 2008 with an excess of 500,000 copies.
The album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at #6 and fell to #13 the following week. The album reached #2 on RIANZ in its second week.
