In addition to her film career, Lohan has also ventured into the world of pop music. In 2002, she signed a five-album production deal with record producer Emilio Estefan. For the 2003 Freaky Friday soundtrack, she performed the theme song "Ultimate" (written by Jeff Coplan and Robert Ellis Orrall). The next year, she followed this up with the recording of four songs for the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen soundtrack, including the theme to the film, "Drama Queen (That Girl)".

In 2004, Lohan signed a recording contract with Casablanca Records, a label headed by well-known "diva-maker" Tommy Mottola. Her debut album, Speak, was issued on December 7, 2004, and reached #4 on the US Billboard 200, as well as the top ten of the Canadian album chart. By early 2005, it was certified platinum. Despite these successes, the album was a critical failure, with many reviewers dismissing the record as merely a way to cash in on Lohan's popularity among tweens.

The lead single off the album, "Rumors", was a strong digital seller, and eventually earned itself a gold certification. The sexually-suggestive video for the track also was popular and, in addition to making it to #1 on MTV's TRL, was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. However, the song never really lit up the charts, aside from going top ten in Australia. Follow-up singles "Over" and "First" (the latter of which was featured on the ' soundtrack) were similar cases in that they also received moderate airplay on TRL, but never really took off on any charts (although both singles made top forty placement in Australia, and "Over" also broke into the UK charts).
