0304 is the fourth studio album by American pop singer Jewel, released in June 2003 (see 2003 in music) on Atlantic Records. The album is considered Jewel's most mainstream-accessible album to date.

Inspired by the sudden success of scoring a number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart with "Serve the Ego", the final single from her previous effort This Way, Jewel made a radical departure from previous musical efforts and recorded 0304, a pop- and club-friendly record, void of anything "folk-like" she had previously done. Many fans accused her of selling out.

History

0304 ended up being Jewel's highest-debuting album in her career, debuting and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 142,000 copies in its first week. Also, the album went gold for selling 900,000. It had strong sales for the first few weeks but, from there on, it slowed down considerably with time. The music video for the first single, "Intuition", featured a more "sexed-up" Jewel, showing cleavage and wearing a white T-shirt sprayed with water, even though it was supposedly done in a "tongue-in-cheek" fashion.

Many fans were disappointed that promotion for the record ended so soon after the success of lead single "Intuition". With the poor performance of follow-up single "Stand", Atlantic Records rushed a third track, "2 Become 1", to radio stations and refused to allow Jewel to film a video. The record sales fizzled away soon after "Intuition" left the charts.
