Crossroads (2002 soundtrack)

Crossroads (Music from the Major Motion Picture) is the soundtrack to the 2002 film Crossroads starring Britney Spears, Anson Mount, Zoe Saldana, Taryn Manning, Kim Cattrall, and Dan Aykroyd, directed by Tamra Davis from a screenplay written by Shonda Rhimes. The soundtrack was released by Zomba Music and Jive Records in 2002 and features six songs. Spears performed three tracks that were used in Crossroads: "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", "Overprotected", and "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman"; however, the soundtrack does not include the original versions of any of these tracks and they were instead included on the singer's third studio album Britney (2001), which also was promoted as the movie's soundtrack.

The album opens with a karaoke version of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which was first performed by the Arrows in 1975 and covered by Spears for Crossroads. In addition to a remix of "Overprotected" performed by Spears, the album also features tracks by Mystikal, Matthew Sweet, Jars of Clay and Bowling for Soup.
