Tyla is the debut studio album by South African singer Tyla. It was released on 22 March 2024 through Fax and Epic Records. Capitalizing on her international breakthrough with its lead single "Water", the album features guest appearances from Kelvin Momo, Tems, Gunna, Skillibeng, Becky G, and Travis Scott. Sonically, it blends elements of amapiano, pop, afrobeats, and contemporary R&B and includes lyrical themes of empowerment and relationships.

Tyla was originally scheduled for release on 1 March 2024. Recording sessions for Tyla took place in seven countries over two and a half years as Epic Records focused on fostering the singer's formal studio experience. Production and songwriting on the album were spearheaded by the singer and her frequent collaborators Ari PenSmith, Mocha Bands, Believve, and Sammy SoSo, whom she deems the "Fantastic Four". "Water", "Truth or Dare", "Jump", and "Art" were released as singles from the album, and the Tyla Tour was announced. Multiple dates were cancelled due to injuries.

Upon its release, Tyla was met with critical acclaim, with many critics praising the versatility of the music genres featured. The album experienced moderate commercial success internationally, debuting at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard 200 as well as within the top 20 in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
