The first single, "Candy", off the CD So Real (1999), was released when Moore was only 15 years old. The second single was the album's title track. So Real was re-released as I Wanna Be With You (2000) and replaced several tracks with new ones. I Wanna Be With You spawned the hits "I Wanna Be With You" and "Walk Me Home." The track "I Wanna Be With You" was featured in the movie Center Stage.
Moore ventured into Hollywood when she appeared as a mean, blonde, popular cheerleader Lana Thomas opposite Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in the movie The Princess Diaries (2001). (Previously she had appeared in the straight-to-video children's movie "Magic Al and the Mind Factory" and had done a voice role for "Dr. Doolittle 2") Moore, as Lana, performs with friends Anna and Fontana. The song, "Stupid Cupid," can also be found on the movie's soundtrack.
Next, Moore released a self-titled album. The singles from Mandy Moore (2001) released in the U.S. were "In My Pocket," "Crush," and "Cry." The songs "17" and "Saturate Me" were both released as singles overseas. This album also showed her more mature and developed voice, in comparison to her past releases.
Shortly after the release of her album, Moore portrayed Jamie Sullivan, her first starring role, opposite Shane West in A Walk to Remember (2002). The movie, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, revolves around the developing romance between social outcast and Christian devout, Jamie, and West as bad boy Landon Carter. Although the movie was by no means a critical hit, it did cement Moore's status as a genuine actress. Interestingly, fellow pop-star-turned-actress Britney Spears starred in the movie CrossroadsA crossroads (the word rarely appears in singular) is another word for road junction, where two or more roads meet (there are three or more arms). The word is more often used as an abstraction of places or occasions where people meet. The Latin word trivi, a movie generally considered to be a failure. The soundtrack featured four songs by Mandy (Cry, Someday We'll Know, It's Gonna Be Love, and Only Hope). They were all released as singles in one country or another.

Moore returned to her music and released a third album titled Coverage (2003), an album consisting entirely of covers of old songs that Moore was influenced by as a child, and songs she recently discovered. Her first single off the album is "Have a Little Faith in Me." In the Philippines "Can We Still Be Friends", "Moonshadow", and "Breaking Us in Two" were also released. A video was made for the song "Drop the Pilot", and supposedly released as a single somewhere in South America. Because of worse than expected sales of "Coverage", Sony dropped her, though she was quickly signed by Warner Brothers Records.
