Emotion is the second album by Australian singer Samantha Sang, released in 1978.[1] It features her biggest hit "Emotion" (US No. 3) as well as her follow-up hit, "You Keep Me Dancin'" (US No. 56).[2]

Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees produced and sang background vocals on the title track "Emotion", which he also co-wrote, as well as on "When Love Is Gone".

Sang covered Eric Carmen's 1978 hit song "Change of Heart"; it was featured as the B-side of "You Keep Me Dancin'".[2] Sang re-recorded her 1970 single "The Love of a Woman", a song written by Barry and Maurice Gibb. Sang also covered "Charade", a song by the Bee Gees from 1974.
