Hits is a 2009 compilation album by Seal, released by Warner Bros. Records. It is Seal's second compilation album following 2004's Best 1991–2004. The album was released on two formats, a one-disc standard edition featuring 19 tracks and a two-disc deluxe edition with 34 tracks. Both versions of the album included two new songs, "I Am Your Man", composed by Ashford & Simpson and previously recorded by Edwin Starr, Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers and the Four Tops, and "Thank You Fa Lettin' Me Be Myself" by Sly & the Family Stone.
The single-disc edition includes many of the single versions of the songs, whereas the deluxe edition replaces them with the album versions, or as in the case of "The Beginning", a remix. The cover also served as the artwork for the 2008 single "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
