Epiphany is the second studio album by American R&B and soul singer–songwriter Chrisette Michele, released May 5, 2009 on Def Jam Recordings in the United States. Recording sessions for the album took place during 2008 to 2009. In January 2009, the title track “Epiphany” was released as its lead single. Epiphany debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, while selling 83,000 copies in its first week. Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, based on an aggregate score of 71/100 from Metacritic. Chrisette Michele told Billboard’s Mariel Concepcion that her new album would be “more upbeat and youthful”. Production for the album was handled by Chuck Harmony, Claude Kelly, Bei Maejor, and Ne-Yo. Michele says one of her favorite tracks is the piano-based “Blame It on Me”, in which she croons, “Blame it on me/Say it’s my fault/Say I left you out in the cold with a broken heart/I really don’t care/I’m not crying no more/Say I’m a liar, a cheater, say anything that you want/As long as it’s over.” “On My Own”, Michele says, reminds her of her father. “I’m very close to my dad, but recently I’ve learned how to handle situations on my own, without having him step in for me, and it took a lot of me to be able to do that”, she admits.

Chrisette Michele – Epiphany Lyrics:
(And then it comes to me like an epiphany)
It’s Over. Over. Its over. Over.
[Verse 1:]
Second night in a row. You didn’t come home
I’m watching my phone.
Waiting for it to ring, ring, ring
Sitting in the house on the couch with the TV on (on)
All night all alone (alone)
Every time same old thing, thing, thing
[Chorus:]
So I think I’m just about over being your girlfriend (girlfriend)
I’m leaving (leaving), I’m leaving
No I don’t care what you’ve been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it’s over) I’m leaving
(its over) I’m leaving (yea e yeah)
[Verse 2:]
So you walk in
(you walk in) The next morning
(the next morning) To find me smiling,
Like nothing ever happened
You give me some excuse
(some excuse) Like you always do
(like you always do) I just kiss your cheek
And this is what I tell you, you, you
[Chorus:]
So I think I’m just about over being your girlfriend ( your girlfriend)
I’m leaving, (Im leaveing) I’m leaving
No I don’t care what you’ve been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it’s over) I’m leaving
(Its over) I’m leaving (yea e yeah)
[Bridge:]
How many times did I fall for your lies
How many times did I sit home and cry
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
It just came to me
Like an epiphany
How about I just leave-e-e-e
[Chorus:]
So I think I’m just about over being your girlfriend (girlfriend)
I’m leaving, I’m leaving
No I don’t care what you’ve been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it’s over) I’m leaving
(its over) I’m leaving
(yea e yeah) (repeat).
