Soundtrack to Your Life is the debut studio album by American singer Ashley Parker Angel. It was released on May 16, 2006, by Blackground Records. Following the 2003 disbandment of Angel's band O-Town, he sought to gain more credibility as a musician. Angel began to adopt a more mature image as a rock artist opposed to the previous pop music recorded by the group.
On August 5, 2021, Blackground Records announced on Twitter that the album will be available on streaming services on September 24, 2021, for the first time.{{cite tweet|number=1423355879827587072|user=Blackground|title=JoJo’s original studio albums “JoJo” and “The High Road” will be available on all major digital streaming platforms… |date=5 August 2021}}
