What If... is the seventh full-length studio album by the American rock band Mr. Big, which was released on December 15, 2010 through Frontiers Records. It was the band's first album since their 2009 reunion, their first album in 9 years since 2001's Actual Size and their first album with the original line-up featuring guitarist Paul Gilbert since 1996's Hey Man.
The album was recorded between September–October 2010 in a Los Angeles-area studio with producer Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush, Black Country Communion), and was supported by a world tour in 2011.
The first single from the album, "Undertow", was released on November 27, 2010. A music video has been filmed for the single and will be featured on the special edition DVD of the album.
All tracks written by Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan & Pat Torpey, except where indicated.
