Sweat is the debut studio album by Turkish-Belgian singer Hadise which was released in November 12, 2005. The album was released in both Belgium and Turkey. Hadise released 4 singles from this album - "Sweat", "Milk Chocolate Girl", "Ain't No Love Lost" and "Stir Me Up" - before releasing the single "Bad Boy (Remix)" which was supposed to be included on a re-release of the album that was eventually never released, for legal reasons.
After the release of her debut album, Hadise was scheduled to release a special edition of "Sweat", however a legal battle between Hadise and her manager broke out and consequently postponed the release of the album. It was then expected to be released at the beginning of 2007, however this never happened.
