Lindsay Lohan has released two studio albums, five singles, and six music videos. Having appeared as an actress in several Disney motion pictures including The Parent Trap (1998) and Freaky Friday (2003), as well as other films, such as Mean Girls (2004), Lohan began recording songs for the soundtracks to her films. In September 2002, Emilio Estefan, Jr. signed Lohan to a five-album contract. The deal was later scrapped and Lohan signed on to Casablanca Records in 2004, under the management of Tommy Mottola. She released her debut studio album, Speak in December 2004, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and eventually earning Platinum certification. Speak spawned Lohan's first single, "Rumors". Detailing Lohan's complaints with the paparazzi, "Rumors" eventually earned gold certification, as well as a nomination for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. Speak has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide.
Lohan released her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw) in December 2005. The album peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200, gaining gold certification in early 2006. The first and only single from the album, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)", peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Lohan's first single to debut on the chart. The song documents the problems Lohan has had in her family life, and the music video, which Lohan herself directed, features her younger sister Aliana. A Little More Personal enjoyed less success overall than Speak with more than 2 million copies sold worldwide. Lohan's combined sales of her two albums sums up to 6.5 million copies sold worldwide.
In 2007, Lohan commenced work on a third album following a move to the Universal Motown label. A promotional single, "Bossy", released in May 2008, was written by Ne-Yo and Stargate. The album was initially due for release in late 2008, however, Lohan announced in November 2008 that work on the album had stalled. In 2010, it was believed that she might still be recording an album after the long wait.
On December 17, 2013 Lohan visited a New York City recording studio and experimented with various tracks. Although her previous work belongs to the pop rock genre, she has expressed an interest in making EDM music.
