The Story Goes... is the third studio album by English singer Craig David, released on 6 September 2005 by Warner Bros. Records in the UK.

It was not released in United States, partly due to Atlantic Records' uncertainty over whether the album was the right material for that market.

A digital version of this sampler surfaced online several years later, and incorrectly adds four previously released bonus tracks – "Key to My Heart" (from the American version of David's debut album, Born to Do It), "Apartment 543" (the B-side from David's debut single, "Fill Me In"), a remix of "Fill Me In", and "Four Times a Lady" (the B-side from "What's Your Flava?"

The song "Johnny" delves deeper into his past as he explores the subject of bullying, and the line "I didn't want to tell you anything in case it made things worse" would strike a chord with many a victim.

Produced by long-term David collaborator Mark Hill, The Story Goes... appears to fall between an urban R&B-flavored Usher-styled album and his earlier more hip-hop-influenced work with the Artful Dodger.
