      The Writing's on the Wall is the second studio album by American girl group Destiny's Child, released on July 27, 1999 in the United States. The album featured production from Missy Elliott, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Rodney Jerkins, Eric Nealante Phillips, and BeyoncĂ© among others and featured guest appearances from Missy Elliott and R&B trio Next. The Writing's on The Wall spawned four singles, including the number one-hits "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name". This is the last album with the group's original line-up.

"Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Bug a Boo" were among the first songs written and produced by the group.

      The album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 chart on August 14, 1999 with first-week sales of 132,000 units and later peaked at number five on May 6, 2000. It earned Destiny's Child six Grammy nominations for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals (twice), Best R&B Song (twice), Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The Writing's on the Wall was certified 8× Platinum by the RIAA on November 6, 2001.
