Vorlage:Album infobox A Girl Like Me is the second album by Barbadian Pop/R&B/Dancehall singer Rihanna. The album was released through Def Jam Records released on April 25 2006. The lead single "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" has achieved considerable airplay throughout the United States and Canada and has reached high peak positions on both airplay charts. It contains samples of the '80s hit "Tainted Love" from Soft Cell.

Rihanna has stated she has tried to incorporate more rock music into her album. R&B artist Ne-Yo has been writing for this album too, including the song "Unfaithful", which will be the second single of the album. Rihanna said on an interview with Carson Daly that much of the music she sang on this album is music she would never have sung before.
