Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is the debut studio album by the English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on 23 January 2006 in the United Kingdom and on 21 February 2006 in the United States by Domino Recording Company.
Preceded by the chart-topping singles I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor and When the Sun Goes Down, the album also contains re-recorded versions of both tracks from the band's debut extended play (EP), Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys (2005). It is the only Arctic Monkeys album to feature bassist Andy Nicholson, as he left the band shortly after the album's release.
Forming in 2002, Arctic Monkeys frequently gave away free demo CDs to fans at gigs, which resulted in the fans uploading the band's music to social media sites. As attention towards them continued to grow, the band eventually garnered great demand from fans, the press and the music industry. Several of the album's tracks had been released for free via the Internet in late 2004, which consolidated on the unofficial Beneath the Boardwalk compilation.
Musically, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not features indie rock, garage rock, post-punk revival, punk rock, and alternative rock. Its thematic content has been likened to a concept, generally concerning British nightlife, including lyricism surrounding clubbing and pub culture and romance from the perspective of young Northerners.
