Bittersweet World is the third studio album by American recording artist Ashlee Simpson. It was released in the United States on April 22, 2008. The project is Simpson's final release through Geffen Records.

The album marked a departure for Simpson, who executive produced the record and shifted her sound in a more dance-pop direction. Wanting to experiment with new sounds to make a “fun party album”, Simpson enlisted multiple producers including Timbaland, Jerome Harmon, Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, and Kenna.

The album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States, Simpson's first to not reach the number 1 position. The album's lead single, "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)", also became her first to not appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, though it was a moderate success in other territories. In early 2008, Simpson promoted the album with a small club tour. Plans for a summer tour were canceled when Simpson announced her pregnancy. Though the album did not achieve the commercial success of Autobiography or I Am Me, it has been lauded by critics for its eighties-infused electropop sound, which Simpson has admitted was “ahead of its time.”
