Brand New Me is the seventh studio album by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. His last album for the Atlantic label, it features the Number One single "The Little Girl" (the last Number One of his career) as well as "Even Then" and "That's What I Like About You", both of which failed to make Top 40.

"That's Not Her Picture" was previously cut by Jason Sellers on his 1999 album A Matter of Time, and "Thanks for the G Chord" was originally recorded by Canadian artist Gil Grand on his 1998 album Famous First Words.

Brand New Me was certified Gold by the RIAA.
