"Where I'm Headed" is the eight track on Norwegian singer-songwriter Lene Marlin's debut studio album, Playing My Game (1999). Written by Marlin and produced by Hans G and Jørn Dahl, the song was released as the album's third single in late 1999 following Marlin's international breakthrough hit, "Sitting Down Here".
Despite not charting in Marlin's native Norway, the single became a top-10 success in Finland, France, and Italy, peaking at numbers seven, five, and two, respectively. In France, it became Marlin's highest-charting single, earned a gold sales certification, and was ranked number 38 on the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) year-end chart for 1999, selling 300,000 copies there by January 2000. When released in the United Kingdom in 2001, it peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.
With a duration of four minutes and eleven seconds,[1] "Where I'm Headed" is composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 120 beats per minute.[2]
Geir Rakvaag from Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen called "Where I'm Headed", along with "Unforgivable Sinner" and "Sitting Down Here", one of the "catchiest" songs on the album.[3]
