Walk of Life is the second album by pop singer Billie Piper, released in 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 album was originally released in Japan in July 2000, although release in other markets was delayed until October 2000 with a completely different artwork and track listings, including remixed versions of "Something Deep Inside" and "Walk of Life". The album was not released in the US, and performed poorly, reaching the same position on the charts as her debut, but only reaching a Silver certification.

"Walk of Life" is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits from their fifth studio album Brothers in Arms (1985). It subsequently appeared on their live album On the Night (1993). It was released as a single in November 1985 but had first been available as the B-side of " So Far Away" released in advance of Brothers in Arms.

The track peaked at number seven in the US charts and was their biggest commercial hit in the UK, peaking at number two. The track also appeared on three compilation albums: 1988's Money for Nothing, 1998's Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, and 2005's The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations.

"Walk of Life" is a song recorded by English singer Billie Piper. The song was written by Piper and Wendy Page for Piper's second studio album Walk of Life (2000). It was released as Piper's final single in December 2000 following her decision to retire from the music industry.

" Walk of Life" is a 1985 single by Dire Straits.
