Superficial is the debut studio album by American television personality Heidi Montag. The project was released digitally on January 11, 2010 through Pratt Productions and Warner Music Group. Montag first began working on an album in 2007, having rose to fame through her appearances on the MTV television series The Hills. She enlisted a number of notable writers and producers for the project, hoping to achieve a quality record despite the backing of a major label. The end product was a pop album with synth-pop and dance-pop influences, inspired by artists such as Britney Spears. It lyrically discussed topics such as love and partying, as well as poking fun at Montag's own reputation at the time.
The album experienced numerous setbacks during its production, with several songs meant for the project leaking throughout the years prior to its release. Upon its release, Superficial was met with a harsh reaction from music critics. Though some praised the album's production, Montag's vocals were met with a negative reception. It sold an estimated 1,000 copies during its first week of release, failing to appear on any major music charts. Superficial has been deemed a commercial "flop" due to the lackluster commercial performance. Montag has since attributed the album's failure to a lack of promotional effort on her part. Since its release, the album has gained somewhat of a cult following.
