My World is the only studio album by American country music artist Cyndi Thomson, released on July 31, 2001, via Capitol Nashville. Production was provided by Tommy Lee James and Paul Worley, while Thomson co-wrote eight of the album's eleven tracks.
This album contains her single "What I Really Meant to Say", which became her only number one single on the US Hot Country Songs chart. Follow-up singles "I Always Liked That Best" and "I'm Gone" both cracked top-forty while the final single "If You Could Only See" failed to enter the chart. The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA. This is Thomson's only studio album to date, as in 2002 she announced she would quit the music industry. In 2024, Thomson returned to music with her first single in 22 years, "The Georgia in Me." Multiple singles followed, and on May 23rd, 2025, she released her first EP, Acres of Diamonds on Country Line Entertainment.
