Courage is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Paula Cole. It marks her return to the music scene after nearly a decade-long hiatus. The album is a departure from her previous work, towards more of a jazz and folk sound. "14" was the first single, while "Comin' Down" was released to Triple A radio in the US in early August. The record also features the song "It's My Life", which was featured in Mercury automobile commercials.
