I Will Stand is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released on July 15, 1997, on BNA Records. "She's Got It All" was the album's first single, as well as Chesney's first number 1 single on the Billboard country music charts. "A Chance", "That's Why I'm Here" and "I Will Stand" were all released as singles as well, peaking on the country charts at number 11, number 2, and number 27, respectively. Also included is an acoustic rendition of Chesney's 1996 single "When I Close My Eyes".

I Will Stand became Chesney's first certified Gold album. It was his last album to have a neotraditional country sound before he developed a more crossover-friendly country-pop sound.

The track "Lonely, Needin' Lovin'" was previously recorded and released by Woody Lee on his 1995 Atlantic album, Get Over It.

Critical reception[edit]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album four-and-a-half stars out of five on AllMusic, opining that Chesney began to find his musical personality on the album.[2]
