Portable Life is the second album by Danielle Brisebois. Originally scheduled to be released on 26 October 1999, the album was canceled by RCA Records for unknown reasons and remains unreleased. A small number of promotional copies were released and these are now extremely scarce and valuable. "I've Had It" was scheduled to be the album's first single and was also released as a promo. Portable Life was produced and co-written by former New Radicals-front man Gregg Alexander, who previously worked with Danielle Brisebois on Arrive All Over You and on the New Radicals' Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too.
Two songs from the album, "Just Missed The Train" and "Need A Little Love", later appeared on Carly Hennessy's 2001 album Ultimate High, which was produced by Brisebois and Alexander. Additionally, "Just Missed The Train" had already appeared on Brisebois' first album Arrive All Over You (albeit in a different version) and was also covered by several other artists, including Trine Rein, Maarja and Kelly Clarkson.
"Everything My Heart Desires" was one of two songs Brisebois contributed to the movie As Good as It Gets (the other being "My Only") and was also included on the movie's soundtrack.
