A Little More Personal (Raw) is the second album by American singer Lindsay Lohan, released in the United States on December 6 2005 with Casablanca Records (see 2005 in music). Lohan co-wrote eight of the twelve tracks on the album, which debuted at number twenty on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with nearly 82,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan industry figures. The album fell out of the top forty in its second week and has been far less commercially successful than Lohan's debut album, Speak (2004). Still, A Little More Personal (Raw) was certified Gold by the RIAA for shipping 500,000 copies. It has sold over 300,000 copies in the U.S and 700,000 copies worldwide to date.<ref name="riaa">billboard.com. RIAA Certification - Platinum Albums - Gold Albums. Retrieved on 18 March, 2006.</ref>
"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was released as the album's first single, and radio and video promotion for it began in late October 2005. Though three singles had been released from her debut album Speak (2004), "Confessions" became her first to make an appearance on the main U.S. singles chart, the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at number sixty-six after being released as a digital download on iTunes on November 8 2005, and peaked at fifty-seven. Its video, a favorite on MTV's Total Request Live, depicts scenes from Lohan's childhood touching on her father's drunk driving and family abuse. Lohan herself directed the video, and the younger Lohan was played by Aliana Lohan, her younger sister.
The follow-up single was "I Live for the Day", but without a video or radio airplay, the single went unnoticed.
The album cover art features red lettering on Lohan's back representing the Chinese character "生" (Pinyin: shèng; Cantonese: Säng), which denotes "raw"; there are several other meanings depending on context, including "living" and "giving birth". <ref name="生">chinalanguage.com.
