"Giving You the Best That I Got" foi lançado como o terceiro álbum de estúdio de Anita Baker em 18 de outubro de 1988 pela Elektra Records, marcando seu primeiro e único álbum a alcançar o número 1 nas paradas dos EUA.
A faixa-título, lançada como primeiro single, tornou‑se o maior sucesso de Baker nas paradas americanas, alcançando a terceira posição no Billboard Hot 100.
O álbum rendeu a Anita Baker três Grammys e três prêmios Soul Train Music Awards, consolidando seu reconhecimento crítico.
A canção “You Belong to Me” incluída no álbum foi escrita por Terry Britten, Billy Livsey e Graham Lyle, e não deve ser confundida com outra faixa de mesmo nome que Baker gravou para a compilação “Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary”.
Em 1989 o álbum recebeu certificação triple platina (3× platinum) pela RIAA, evidenciando sua enorme venda comercial.
