So Lucky is Renée Geyer's ninth solo album and the second to be issued in the United States where it was released on the Portrait label. Like its American predecessor on Polydor, it was retitled Renee Geyer for the international market. It was co-produced by former Beach Boy Ricky Fataar, and she was backed by The Bump Band who were also backing Bonnie Raitt at around the same time. This led to a slight change in Geyer's music, featuring a rockier, guitar based R&B but with elements of reggae and salsa rhythms also. The latter was evident on the album's first single and Geyer's biggest hit, "Say I Love You".
