The Secret Life of... is the debut studio album by Australian pop rock band the Veronicas, released on 17 October 2005 on Sire Records.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic stated "[...] it's a terrific little pop record [...] an unexpected gift, a slick, tuneful set of pure sugarcoated fun.

Here, melody runs through both the verses and choruses, the hooks dig deeper, not just on the tracks helmed by Martin, but on the Orgliasso sisters' songs, too.

"[4] Laura Sinagra from Blender complimented their songs "4ever", which she said sounded like "[...] a remix of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" [...]" and "When It All Falls Apart" which has "[...] the marching, singalong wistfulness of great late-'80s arena pop."

Online gave the album a C grade complementing "4ever" as "[...] an endearing pop take on the Donnas' slutty garage rock."

But then said the album "[...] feels like it was designed by committee, with each track sounding like a second generation Xerox of the token girlie rocker hit on the last five Now!

"[11] Craig Mathieson of The Age gave positive reviews for "4ever" and "Revolution" but criticised the rest of the album.

[13] The New York Times said the album had "Sugar-sharp songs with a hint of intrigue[...]", and Entertainment Weekly also complimented them stating "Guilty pleasure or not, these girls won't be a Secret for long.

"[14] In Australia, The Secret Life of... made its debut at number seven on the ARIA Top 50 Albums Chart on the issue dated 30 October 2005.

[15] After dropping and rising on the charts for up to six months the album eventually went on to peak at number two where it stayed for two weeks.

[19] The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand for shipments of 7,500 copies.

[28] In Europe it became a top 40 hit in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Switzerland[28] and in the United States it peaked at number twelve on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

It peaked at number seven in Australia and New Zealand, becoming their third consecutive top ten hit from the album in both countries.

[49][50] And finally in August 2006 they embarked on the "Revolution Tour" in Australia which marked one year since the release of "4ever".
