Anywhere I Lay My Head is the debut studio album by actress Scarlett Johansson, released through Atco/Rhino Records on May 20, 2008. Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio) produced the album, and David Bowie contributed to two tracks, "Falling Down" and "Fannin Street." Anywhere I Lay My Head features four songs written by Tom Waits, six songs written by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan and one original composition, "Song for Jo."[1]

The album received mixed/average reviews [2] , from a 1/5 in The Times to an 8/10 in NME.[3] Paste featured Johansson on its June 2008 cover.[4] The same issue featured two reviews of the album by two different authors. One called the tracks "new standards" while the other declared the album to be "sub-standard."[5] Johansson was also featured on the cover of the May 21 issue of NME.[6]

The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #63, #126 in the Billboard 200 and #77 in Spain. It fared better in Sweden, where it debuted at #27 and in France, where it debuted at #20.
