What If? is the fourth studio album by Canadian country music band Emerson Drive. It was released on June 29, 2004 via DreamWorks Nashville and was the group's final release with the label. Like their previous album, American musician Richard Marx produced the album. The group co-wrote one song on the album, "If You Were My Girl".
Four singles were released. "Last One Standing" was released in January 2004 as the lead single but did not perform well. A follow-up single, "November", only peaked at number 41 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. Two other singles, "If You Were My Girl" and "Still Got Yesterday", were exclusively released to Canadian country radio and peaked within the top ten of the Canada country charts.
A cover of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's number one country hit, "Fishin' in the Dark" was recorded. The songs "You're Like Comin' Home" and "I'll Die Tryin'" were later recorded by American country band Lonestar for their sixth studio album Coming Home (2005), of which both were released as singles.
