After the Storm is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter Monica, released in the United States on June 17, 2003 (see 2003 in music) on J Records. It was released as a new-titled and re-recorded version of her international 2002 release All Eyez On Me, that was partially scrapped after the first single's fail and early leak via the internet. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 charts, and went Platinum. Four songs were released from the album: "So Gone", which reached #10 of the Billboard Hot 100; "Knock Knock" and "Get It Off", simultaneously released as a double-a-single; and "U Should've Known Betta", another top 20 hit. At certain points "Don't Gotta Go Home" with DMX was also planned to be released as a single.
