Did I Shave My Legs for This? is the debut studio album by American country music artist Deana Carter, released via Patriot Records in the United Kingdom on February 27, 1995.[1] Two singles were released from the album in the UK, "Angel Without a Prayer" and "Are You Coming Home Today?", which charted at numbers 100 and 93 respectively on the UK Singles Chart.[10]

In 1996, Capitol Records had Carter record new material for the North American release of the album, which retained only three songs from the original release.[11] This version features her breakthrough debut single "Strawberry Wine", a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart at the end of that year. "We Danced Anyway", "Count Me In", and the title track were also released as a singles. Of these, "We Danced Anyway" and the promotional single "How Do I Get There" also reached number one.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the album, a remastered edition was released on November 5, 2021. The re-issue includes re-recordings of the title-track and "Strawberry Wine", featuring guest appearances from Lauren Alaina, Ashley McBryde, Vince Gill, Terri Clark, Sara Evans and Martina McBride.[12]
