Almost Seventeen is the third album by Japanese singer and actress Crystal Kay. It is her second R&B dominant album and is produced by a similar team who worked on 637: Always and Forever. A large part of the record was written and produced by Michico and T-Kura of Giant Swing Productions. She also worked with the TinyVoice production company and Takahashi Taku from m-flo to produce "Hard to Say". "Love of a Lifetime" is a cover of the 1999 single by British girl group Honeyz. Kay also released her ninth single "Girl U Love" alongside the album. The first pressings of Almost Seventeen were released at a lower price, and later prints received a new catalog number and a raised price.

The album reached No. 2 on the weekly Oricon chart. This was a huge career milestone for Kay, with her last album peaking at No. 19. In 2003, Almost Seventeen sold 213,023 copies, making it the sixty-second best-selling album of the year. It is Kay's best-selling album.
