Teen Spirit is the second studio album by Swedish pop group A-Teens, released in 2001 by Stockholm Records in Sweden and MCA Records in the US. It is also their first studio album consisting of original new songs in contrast to their ABBA cover concept debut album The ABBA Generation, except one cover called "Morning Light", which was originally recorded by fellow Swedish singer, E-Type.

Its thirteen tracks were recorded in Sweden with new producers and hitmakers Grizzly and Tysper, among others. While musically it is generally perceived to be more American-driven than the Europop sound of their first record, it does include a varied mix of styles including bass, soul, Latin music, and others. Also, the boys from the band (Amit Paul and Dhani Lennevald) collaborated more on the vocals.
Teen Spirit spawned four singles, including the #1 hit and signature song "Upside Down". This song was renamed for the US and Canadian market as "Bouncing off the Ceiling (Upside Down)". A new version of the album with bonus tracks was released on 21 January 2002 in Scandinavia, Germany and Mexico including bonus tracks and the single used to promote the Disney movie The Princess Diaries, "Heartbreak Lullaby".
Teen Spirit was certified Gold in the US and Poland as well as Platinum in Sweden and many other countries. While not repeating the same level of success as their debut album, the album went on to sell over 1.5 million copies, despite poor reviews from critics.
The songs "Halfway Around the World", "Heartbreak Lullaby" and "Upside Down" were played frequently on Radio Disney.
