Sweet About Me is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi from her debut album, Lessons to Be Learned (2008). Co-written with and produced by Xenomania, it was released in April 2008 as the album's lead single.
On 14 April, the song topped the ARIA Singles Chart and is certified platinum for sales of 70,000 copies. It reached number one again on 19 May, where it sat for four weeks, while her debut album reached number two on the albums chart.This makes her the youngest Australian artist to reach the top of the charts, beating out Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan by just nineteen days. On 27 October 2008, "Sweet About Me" re-entered the Australian chart at number seventeen. The song would ultimately become the third highest-selling single of 2008 in Australia.
On 9 March 2008, "Sweet About Me" debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number sixty-eight, rising to its peak position of number six in its fifteen week on the run. On 20 July, months after its release, the song reached number two on the UK Airplay Chart. On 27 July, the song managed to climb five spots from number twelve to number seven. However, the following week, the song fell back to number twelve, then to number sixteen, and number eighteen the following week, but rising again to number fifteen. After several weeks of going down the charts, it re-entered the top forty on 5 October rising from number sixty-five to number thirty-eight. The song spent thirty-seven consecutive weeks on the UK Singles Chart before finally dropping out on 23 November. Cilmi recorded a performance of the song for a Christmas revival of the axed music show Top of the Pops, which aired on Christmas Day 2008 on BBC One. "Sweet About Me" became the UK's twenty-sixth best-selling single of 2008.
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher recently stated that "Sweet About Me" is his favourite song of 2008 so far.
