Call off the Search is the debut studio album by British singer Katie Melua. It was released by Dramatico on 3 November 2003. The album was developed after Melua was signed by musician Mike Batt following a performance at a Brit School showcase in early 2003. Recording sessions followed shortly after, with Batt producing and contributing much of the material alongside songs by John Mayall, Delores J. Silver, Randy Newman, and James Shelton, as well as two tracks written by Melua herself.
