Breakfast with Girls is the third studio album by American pop rock band Self, released on July 13, 1999, by DreamWorks Records and Spongebath Records. Its songs were mainly written and composed by Matt Mahaffey, the band's lead member. The album prominently maintains a power pop/art rock soundscape with elements of hip-hop and jazz.
Five singles supported it; the third, "Paint by Numbers", received a nomination for Song of the Year from the Nashville Music Association Awards, while the fifth, "Meg Ryan", was the album's major single. Upon release, Breakfast with Girls received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its inventiveness but critiqued its complexity.
