The Writing`s on the Wall is the second studio album by American girl group Destiny`s Child. It was released on July 14, 1999, by Columbia Records.

Seeking transition from the neo soul sound of their eponymous studio album (1998), Destiny`s Child enlisted an almost entirely different array of songwriters and producers for The Writing`s on the Wall, including Kevin `She`kspere` Briggs, Kandi Burruss, Missy Elliott, Rodney Jerkins and LaShawn Daniels, among others. Their final product was an R&B, pop, hip hop and soul record incorporating unconventional sonic elements alongside complex arrangements and layered staccato rap-singing vocals. Lyrically, the album is constructed as a concept album, with each of its tracks representing a Ten Commandments-inspired `Commandment of Relationships`. Its themes include infatuation, dependency, infidelity and separation, while a loose religious theme is maintained throughout the album.

Upon its release, The Writing`s on the Wall received critical acclaim, which would further solidify in retrospective reviews, with most of the praise directed towards its production and innovative approach. A commercial success, it debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 133,000 units. Due to vigorous promotional activities and success of its singles, the album`s sales continuously kept increasing within the year following its release. Consequently, it peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 in May 2000, and has gone on to be certified octuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). With worldwide sales of 13 million copies, the album is one of the best-selling girl group albums and best-selling R&B albums of all time.
