The Earth Is ...

The Earth Is ... is the eleventh studio album by British-Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released in 1991 and their first for Giant Records. It was their comeback album after taking a break in 1987, with Russell Hitchcock releasing his eponymous debut solo album in 1988.

The Earth Is ... did not peak on the American charts, but it produced a worldwide tour in which the band focused on Asian countries and Latin America. The interpretation of "Without You" reached No. 48 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. "Dame Amor" is the first song by the band recorded in Spanish.
