American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt has recorded songs for four studio albums as well as a number of soundtracks and other projects. Hewitt first rose to prominence in the entertainment industry for acting in television commercials and the children's television series Kids Incorporated.[1][2] At age 10, she moved with her mother from Killeen, Texas to Los Angeles to pursue a music career,[3] and collaborated with Earth, Wind & Fire on the song "One World" for the 1990 compilation album Music Speaks Louder Than Words.[4] Two years later, Hewitt recorded her first studio album Love Songs (1992)[2][5] under the name "Love Hewitt".[6] The video game company Meldac released Love Songs exclusively in Japan, and it includes cover versions of songs by ABBA and Michael Jackson.[2] Prior to the album's release, Hewitt released the stand-alone cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" earlier in 1990.[7] According to a 2013 Rolling Stone article, Love Songs led to Hewitt becoming a pop star in Japan.[2]

After Hewitt attracted further attention following her role in the family drama Party of Five, she released two studio albums in the United States through Atlantic.[2][5] Let's Go Bang (1995) featured dance-pop and "light R&B",[2] and her self-titled album (1996) had R&B-inspired pop music and adult contemporary music with lyrics about "love, loss, and longing".[8] Following the two albums' poor sales, Hewitt was dropped by Atlantic[9] and went on to act in several films and television programs.[2] As well as starring in the 1998 slasher film I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, she recorded the 1999 single "How Do I Deal" for its soundtrack,[1] which became the best-selling song of her career.[9] In 2002, Hewitt signed a record contract with Jive,[1] and her fourth studio album BareNaked was released in October that year.[10] Recording "rock-oriented" songs,[2] Hewitt collaborated with Meredith Brooks for the album.[8] Hewitt said that she had more creative freedom with BareNaked since she was "able to find [her]self as an artist".[3] She co-wrote nine of the album's thirteen songs and was involved with its arrangements and instrumentation.[3][10]

In 2002, Hewitt wrote and recorded "I'm Gonna Love You (Madellaine's Love Song)" for the animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, in which she also voiced the character Madellaine.[2] She appeared in the 2004 television film A Christmas Carol, an adaptation of the original novella,[11] and contributed to its soundtrack.[12] Despite finding commercial success with BareNaked, Hewitt shifted away from music in 2004 to focus on her acting career, including the lead role in the supernatural television show Ghost Whisperer.[2][13] Her final record was the compilation album, Cool with You: The Platinum Collection, released in Asia in June 2006.[5][14] In 2013, she recorded five songs for the television drama The Client List, in which she starred as the lead character.[15][16] The same year, she collaborated with Sophie B. Hawkins for a song for the comedy film Alpha Males Experiment.[17] In 2024, Hewitt released a cover of Kenny Rogers's and Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream" after it was featured on 9-1-1, a show in which she plays a lead role.[18]
