"Stripped" is the second studio album by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released on October 22, 2002, by RCA.
Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of her self-titled debut album "Christina Aguilera" (1999), Aguilera took creative control over her next album project, both musically and lyrically. She also changed her public image and established her alter ego "Xtina". Musically, its music incorporates pop and R&B with influences from many different genres, including soul, rock, hip hop, and Latin music. Lyrically, most of the songs from the album discuss the theme of self-respect, while a few other songs talk about sex and feminism. As an executive producer, Aguilera enlisted many new collaborators for the album.
The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200.
