Standing Tall is the debut studio album, and only solo album to date, by former Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh. It was released on 21 July 2003[4] in the United Kingdom by Island Records.

The album was preceded by two single releases: "Cry", the lead single, and "Come on Over" which reached number 2 and 10 respectively on the UK Singles Chart. Standing Tall peaked at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart.[5] Marsh's make-or-break third single release, "Sentimental", was released in October 2003 and stalled at number 35 resulting in her being dropped by the record label.
