Thank You is the one album in this entry where Diana Ross steps out of the interpreter role: for the first time across her catalog she carries co-writing credits on most tracks, sharing them with collaborators like Amy Wadge, Fred White, and her daughter Rhonda Ross. A few songs stay fully outside her pen, including 'The Answer's Always Love' and 'I Still Believe,' but the bulk of the record finally puts her name in the songwriting column rather than only on the vocal.

Thank You is the studio album by Diana Ross released in November 2021 by Decca, her first album of new material in many years. Recorded largely at her home studio with producer Troy Miller and a team of contemporary writers, it is a warm, gratitude-themed pop and soul record. It is also the album where Ross finally steps forward as a writer, sharing co-writing credits on most of its tracks, a sharp break from the interpreter role that defined her earlier catalog. The title track returned her to the dance chart, and the album marked a celebrated late-career return.
