Lucky is the eighth album by singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music).

"Tuesday Morning" is dedicated to the memory of Mark Bingham, his family and friends, paying tribute to all the heroes of 9/11.

Shortly after the album's release, Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer and was forced to cancel all promotion to undergo chemotherapy treatments.
