Music Inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a collection of songs by various Christian artists with the common theme of C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. The album was released in anticipation of the December 9, 2005 premiere of the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The artists range from Christian pop personalities, such as Bethany Dillon, to Christian alternative rockers Kutless, to hip-hop/rap style tobyMac. By October 2005, the songs "Remembering You" by Steven Curtis Chapman and "Waiting for the World to Fall" by Jars of Clay were already being played on Contemporary Christian radio.
Relient K wrote their song "In Like A Lion (Always Winter)" to be considered to be included on the album. When they were not asked, they release it on their Apathetic EP.
