"I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss" is the tenth and final studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor, released on August 11, 2014, on Nettwerk Music Group. The album was initially intended to be titled The Vishnu Room after a song of the same name, but the title and cover design were changed shortly before release in support of the Ban Bossy campaign.
The album was nominated for the Irish Meteor Choice Music Prize for Best Album. It remains O'Connor's final completed album before her death in 2023.
Upon its release, I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss received positive reviews from publications like American Songwriter, The Guardian, Now, and Slant Magazine. The album's Metacritic aggregate score, as of August 12, 2014, was 66 out of 100.
Fred Thomas of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, noting its favorable reception. He summarized the review by reflecting on O'Connor's previous work and her return to form with this album: "A decade of inconsistent, spotty, or simply confusing output from iconic Irish singer/songwriter Sinéad O'Connor was redeemed with 2012's refreshingly focused and honest effort How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? That album saw O'Connor effortlessly creating the same type of emotionally charged yet easily melodic fare that constituted her earliest, most popular work, and positioned her for a graceful return to form. Two years later, I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss follows the impassioned pop framework of its immediate predecessor, branching out into even more vivid stylistic dimensions and retaining all the energy, controversy, and fire that have come to define O'Connor as both a musician and a political figure. Taken at face value, the songs here are vibrant and multifaceted."
