I'm in You is the fifth studio album by Peter Frampton. It was released on 3 June 1977,[3] almost a year and a half after his blockbuster 1976 live album Frampton Comes Alive![4][5] It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York, where Frampton's Camel had been recorded four years earlier.

Guest musicians Stevie Wonder, Richie Hayward, Mike Finnigan, and Mick Jagger are featured on this album.

I'm in You became Frampton's most commercially successful studio album; it rose to the No. 2 slot in the US on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum, while in Canada, the album entered the chart directly at #1.[6] The title track became his most successful single yet, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the Cash Box singles chart, "I'm in You" reached No. 1, as it also did in Canada.[7][8]

Record World said of the single "Tried to Love" that "A loping rhythm and blues with signature instrumental effects will likely be Frampton's third straight single success from I'm In You" and that "The rhythm is engaging."[9] However, "Tried to Love" only reached #41 on the Billboard Hot 100.[10]
