On My Way is the second studio album release by New Jersey Latin rock band, deSoL.[1]

The album had its start while the band took a month off from touring in January 2006.[citation needed] After the success of their AAA top 10 single, Karma and a lengthy tour, the band started 2006 with a trip to Texas. They spent a month at Sonic Ranch, a boutique recording studio in the middle of a Pecan farm outside El Paso. With the benefit of isolation and virtually no phone service, the band spent their days rehearsing and working on writing new material inspired by their travels of the previous 2–3 years.[citation needed] A collection of 20 songs arose out of these informal sessions and demos were recorded by the band. This album was created and financed independently after the band left their previous label, CURB Records. The band then set about recording the album back in New Jersey with producer Jon Leidersdorff at his Lakehouse Recording Studio in Asbury Park.[citation needed] The cover photo is a detail of a live photo taken by tour manager Jessica Erickson during a show in Boston.[citation needed]
