For Me, It's You is the fourth studio album by American band Train, released through Columbia Records on January 31, 2006. It was Train's last album to be recorded as a five-piece until 2014's Bulletproof Picasso and is their only album to feature keyboardist Brandon Bush and bassist Johnny Colt. The album's first single, "Cab", was released to radio in November 2005. The second and third singles, "Give Myself to You" and "Am I Reaching You Now" were released in mid-2006.
The album was met with commercial disappointment. Despite debuting at number 10 on the US Billboard 200, it descended the chart quickly and is their first album not to have received an RIAA certification. It was also the band's only album to not feature a Billboard Hot 100-charting single until AM Gold in 2022.
The album was dedicated to Greg Violett, who died on May 2, 2005.[6]
