Introducing the Dame is the debut EP by American singer Ivy Levan, released in the United States on June 4, 2013 by Cherrytree Records.[1] It marks Levan's first official music release and is the first of two EPs which were released before her first full-length album, No Good (2015). Introducing the Dame was produced by Patrick Nissley, Lucas Banker, and Tomo Miličević.

The album was described as a "four-track powerhouse built on fiery-sweet melodies, bright but dirty beats, and Levan's endlessly smoldering vocals". Its sound was noted as a blues-infused pop.[2] The album features the single "Hot Damn", which has garnered a million views on YouTube.[3][4]
