0304 is the fourth studio album by American pop singer-songwriter Jewel, released in the United States on June 3, 2003 by Atlantic Records. 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—in early November 2002, Jewel made a radical departure from previous musical efforts and recorded 0304, a club-friendly record, void of anything folk-like she had previously done.

Background

0304 became Jewel's highest-debuting album in her career, entering the Billboard 200 at number two with 144,000 copies sold in its first week.[1] The album eventually went gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling more than 756,000 copies in the United States.[2] 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, although it was done in a "tongue-in-cheek" fashion.

After the limited performance of follow-up single "Stand", Atlantic Records rushed a third track, "2 Become 1", to radio stations, but refused to allow Jewel to film a video. Record sales fizzled away soon after "Intuition" left the charts.
