Special Occasion is the second album from R&B singer Bobby Valentino. Valentino co-wrote over three quarters of the album, which also features songwriting and production from Timbaland, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Sean Garrett, Tim & Bob, Don Vito, Bryan Michael Cox and Dre & Vidal.

The album was set to be released on December 12, 2006, but was delayed and rescheduled to February 13, 2007. The album was pushed back again and finally released May 8, 2007. Although "Wreck" was given some airplay as a "buzz" single, Special Occasion's first official single was the Jerkins-produced track "Turn the Page". The ballad features Valentino singing about trust and taking risks in a relationship. The album features guest appearances by Ludacris, Timbaland and Fabolous. It was rumored that the song "Pullin' Up", featuring Smoke of Field Mob, would be on this album, but the song is actually on Lil' Romeo's album God's Gift. The second single from the album is "Anonymous", featuring and produced by Timbaland.

Following its release, Special Occasion debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number three, selling about 92,000 copies in its first week. As of July 11, 2007, the album has sold 216,593 copies in the US.

Valentino offered purchasers of Special Occasion's a ten-song guarantee: "If you don't like at least 10 songs off my album, you can get your money back." He plans to release an Underground Love album following the release of Special Occasion.
