A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising an emulsion polymerization product exhibiting improved adhesion properties, particularly an improved balance between peel strength and high shear adhesion failure temperature. A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing an emulsion polymerization product of a monomer mixture, wherein the monomer mixture comprises: (A) a specific amount of an alkyl ester of (meth) acrylic acid, (B) a specific amount of a vinyl aromatic monomer, (C) a specific amount of hydroxyl-functionalized (meth) acrylate monomer; (D) a specific amount of a ureido-substituted ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (E) any amount of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and (f) any amount of ethylenically unsaturated monomer different from monomers (a) to (e).
