Future History is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Jason Derulo, released on September 16, 2011.

Upon its release, Future History received mixed reviews from music critics, who found the record to be too commercial and overcalculated.

During an interview with Rap-Up magazine in May 2011, Derulo stated that the album was "a bunch of reinventions ... I’ve experienced so much in these last two years.

"[6] In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Derulo stated that the title Future History reflects his desire for longevity in the music business.

[19] The following day, Derulo made a guest appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly to perform "Don't Wanna Go Home" and "It Girl".

[27][28] "Don't Wanna Go Home" peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[29] and reached the top ten in Australia, Austria, Canada and Ireland.

[35][36] "It Girl" peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[29] and reached the top ten in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK.

[40][41] "Breathing" peaked inside the top ten on the singles charts in Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland.

[54] MSN Music's Alex Thornton viewed that the album "may not be a huge expansion on his formula", but stated, "while 'Future History' is chock-full of Auto-Tune and pyrotechnics, Derulo can actually sing and the effects are more of a means to an end than a crutch".

[59] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone described its music as "party-hearty robo R&B" and stated, "Derulo doesn't travel light; on nearly every song he stuffs his suitcase until the seams split.

"[1] In Cuepoint, Robert Christgau gave the album a three-star honorable mention,[55] which indicates "an enjoyable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well treasure".

[55] Entertainment Weekly's Brad Wete noted "several attempts at home-run club records and huge ballads" and wrote that Derulo "swings hard, but often misses – perhaps his biggest problem is that he's not rooted in any genre outside of people- pleasing pop", adding that he "should give true R&B a try.

"[57] Michael Cragg of BBC Music criticized the "meaningless slogans and relationship clichés" in the lyrics and stated, "As with his self-titled debut, Future History is more of a collection of singles than an album, but it feels a little more calculated.

"[61] Digital Spy critic Robert Copsey shared a similar sentiment and, despite complimenting the dance tracks "Breathing" and "Fight for You", he found "little in the way of surprises elsewhere".

[56] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian criticized Derulo's "gauche declarations" and called Future History "an album that cleaves so closely to this year's ubiquitous pop/urban sound that you wonder whether the Florida-born crooner has an original idea in his head.
