Smile is the third studio album from Simon Webbe. The album was released on 13 October 2017. The album is the first collection of solo material from Webbe in a decade.

Discussing the meaning behind the album title, Webbe told Entertainment Focus: "The album is called Smile because not a lot of people are smiling these days. Everybody's too busy using their phones to connect, nobody's really connecting anymore. For me, I just wanted to put a title out there that was self-explanatory and will hit home."[4]

The album is inspired by Webbe's fiancé Ashen Kemal, to whom he proposed on Valentine's Day 2017.[citation needed]

The album hit number 76 in the midweek UK Album Chart Update, however ultimately failed to chart in the Top 100.
