(2004)

Cuz I Can is the first solo album by the Swedish pop rock singer Ana Johnsson. The album was released by Sony Music in several European countries in April 2004.[1]

It was later worldwide-released as The Way I Am, so that this latter is sometimes considered to be the first album by Johnsson. The latter album has a different cover and track listing; otherwise the albums are identical. The Way I Am contains the first seven songs from Cuz I Can and some new tracks, including the huge hit "We Are", which was the official soundtrack for the Spider-Man 2 film, "Don't Cry for Pain" and "Coz I Can", a remix of "Cuz I Can". The leftover tracks were included as B-sides on the later released singles.

Singles released from Cuz I Can were "The Way I Am", "Life" and "Cuz I Can", of which only "Life" entered the Swedish Singles Chart, at number 17.
