Sliding Doors (1998) is a British romantic drama that explores the concept of parallel lives, following the story of Helen, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, whose life splits into two distinct paths based on a seemingly small moment—whether she catches a train or not. Directed by Peter Howitt, the film cleverly weaves between both timelines, examining themes of fate, chance, and the ripple effect of everyday decisions. With a mix of wit, emotion, and philosophical undertones, it captures the unpredictability of life and the hidden meaning in missed opportunities.

The Sliding Doors soundtrack is a reflection of the film's emotional range, combining late '90s Britpop and moody ballads that underscore Helen’s journey in both timelines. It features artists like Aqua, Dido, and The Brand New Heavies, blending upbeat tracks with more introspective songs to match the shifts in tone. The standout is "Have Fun, Go Mad" by Blair, which captures the spontaneous, what-if spirit of the film. Overall, the soundtrack enhances the narrative’s duality and emotional depth, becoming an evocative companion to the story.
