What Comes Naturally is the tenth studio album by Scottish-born singer Sheena Easton, released in 1991 through MCA Records. This album includes Easton's final US top-20 hit to date, "What Comes Naturally", which remained on the pop chart for 10 weeks. The single reached number 4 in Australia, where the album also made the top 40. Other singles released were "You Can Swing It" and "To Anyone", both which failed to chart. The album charted in the United States at number 90. Easton is the co-writer on three tracks on the album.

The expanded edition of What Comes Naturally was released for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify on 16 August 2021.

Background

Like her previous release, 1988's The Lover in Me, Easton's management sought to make the Scottish singer's image more accessible to a younger market. The artwork for the album cover to "What Comes Naturally", done by John Coulte, features the singer in a solid black leotard and thigh high boots straddling a chair. According to Mr. Coulte in a January 1991 interview with New York City-based Reader's Digest, "We were going for a sort of tramped up ballerina who moonlights as either a casino craps dealer or a New Jersey hairdresser with a gambling addiction. We struggled with props, ultimately going with a toddler's high chair over an infant's seesaw."
