"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.
The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Yahoo! reviewer Jackie Flynn wrote that she had heard the song "a hundred times before" and compared it to "Mama" by Kim Appleby. Peter Robinson of NME wrote that "Walk of Life" "sounds nice", but "lacks the excitement" of previous singles.

It remained on the chart for five weeks and became the lowest charting single of Piper's career despite heavy promotion.
