Magnolia is the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson motion picture of the same name. The album is largely culled from the work of Aimee Mann, enough so that she gets title billing on the album, though it does include tracks from Gabrielle, Supertramp, and Jon Brion.

Many of the songs feature prominently within the film, with "Wise Up" even being sang by the cast at one point, but only two of the songs were written expressly for the film, those being "You Do" and "Save Me". "Save Me" would garner Mann an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, losing to Phil Collins' contribution to Tarzan.

The tracks "Deathly", "Driving Sideways", and "You Do" show up on Aimee Mann's following album, Bachelor No. 2. "Nothing is Good Enough", here an instrumental, appears in lyrical form on that album. (Bachelor also includes "Red Vines", a song Mann wrote about director Anderson.)
