Real Things is the fifth studio album by country music artist Joe Nichols, released in 2007 on Universal South Records. It produced two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Another Side of You", which peaked at number 17, and "It Ain't No Crime", which reached number 16.

This album contains four songs that were previously recorded by other artists. "She's All Lady" was previously recorded by Jamey Johnson on his 2005 debut The Dollar, and "Ain't Nobody Gonna Take That from Me" was previously recorded by Collin Raye on his 2001 album Can't Back Down. Also, "Let's Get Drunk and Fight" was recorded by Aaron Lines on his 2007 album Moments That Matter, from which it was released as a single. Finally, "If I Could Only Fly" is a cover of a Blaze Foley song. "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking" was recorded by Blake Shelton on his album All About Tonight and was released as the second single from that album.
