Walk of Life is the second and final studio album by the English pop singer Billie Piper, released in July 2000. Piper's second album (her first released under her full name) produced three Top 30 singles in the UK – "Day & Night" (number 1), "Something Deep Inside" (number 4), and "Walk of Life" (number 25). The album itself reached number 14, the same position as her debut, but only reaching a Silver certification.
The album was originally released in Japan in July 2000. Its release in other markets was delayed until October 2000. The releases differ in album art and track listing. The October 2000 release includes remixed versions of "Something Deep Inside" and "Walk of Life". The album was not released in the US.
A new mix of "Makin' My Way" (originally featured on the Pokémon: The First Movie soundtrack) was released on the Japanese version of the album. This and "First Love" were both replaced on international releases with "Bring It On" and "What Game Is This?". "First Love" was later used as the B-side to some releases of "Something Deep Inside".
"The Tide Is High", a cover of a song performed by The Paragons later covered by Blondie, was to be the fourth single from the album. Piper states in her book Growing Pains that she told Virgin Records not to bother releasing "The Tide Is High" as a single because she was worn out after appearing in court against a woman named Juliet Peters who had given Piper, her friends, and her family numerous death threats. A single mix and remixes were commissioned but never released.
