Especially For You is the title of Cilla Black's eleventh solo studio album. It was Cilla's first recording project to be undertaken after the completion of her 15-year contract with the EMI group.

The venture was notably produced by Bruce Welch for Cilla Black Ltd and licensed to K-tel International. Recording sessions for the album were held at the legendary Abbey Road Studios where Cilla had recorded many of her earlier hit singles. The album consisted of some of Cilla's favourite songs from the seventies (or as she referred to them on the album sleeve "modern standards"). The TV-advertised album eventually was certified silver by the BPI having sold over 60,000 units.
