Dear You is the fourth studio album by American punk rock band Jawbreaker, released on September 12, 1995 through DGC Records. Spurred on by releases from Green Day and the Offspring, punk rock reached mainstream status; while promoting their third studio album 24 Hour Revenge Therapy (1994), Jawbreaker were approached by Geffen Records. After securing management, they signed to the label and started recording what would be their major label debut at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California with producer Rob Cavallo. While bassist Chris Bauermeister and drummer Adam Pfahler recorded their respective parts within a few days, frontman Blake Schwarzenbach did his parts over six weeks in February and March 1995.

Mainly described as an emo, pop-punk and punk rock album, Dear You returns to the darker sound of Jawbreaker's second album Bivouac (1992). The lyrics largely revolve around the aftermath of the relationship that had informed 24 Hour Revenge Therapy; others, such as "Save Your Generation" and "Chemistry", deal with slacker culture and attending school, respectively. Unlike previous releases, Dear You sees Schwarzenbach sing more instead of scream, with his vocals evoking Morrissey, while the band overall were compared to the work of Green Day, Jawbox and Nirvana.

Dear You was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised the album's sound and highlighted the lyrics. It peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart in the United States, where it would sell 40,000 copies by 2002. "Fireman" was released as the album's lead single in August 1995; Jawbreaker embarked on the Monsters of Jaw tour with Jawbox, and then toured Australia as part of the Summersault festival. "Accident Prone" was released as the next single by April 1996, which was promoted with a supporting slot for the Foo Fighters. Following a fist fight between Bauermeister and Schwarzenbach, Jawbreaker announced their break up in 1996.

Jawbreaker's fanbase was not receptive to Dear You at its release, criticizing its production; the decision to sign to with a major label would overtake the album's content, becoming the narrative that the press rallied around. Following the band's demise, fan perception change to a positive one as the album would became an influence on the next wave of emo and pop-punk acts. Many of Dear You songs would feature on tribute albums in the ensuring years while several publications included it on best-of emo album lists. After going out of print, Pfahler's label Blackball Records would reissue it in 2004. Jawbreaker would eventually embark on a celebratory tour of the album in 2022.
