11:11 is the debut solo album by American musician Maria Taylor. It was released on May 24, 2005 by Saddle Creek Records.[13] The album was produced by Andy LeMaster and Mike Mogis, who also provide additional musical backing throughout. It features appearances from Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes and Gretta Cohn of Cursive, among others,[14] while one track was written by Taylor's former Little Red Rocket bandmate Louis Schefano.[15]

A music video was released for the track "Song Beneath the Song", directed by Tai Yin Ho.[16][17] 11:11 was released on vinyl LP for the first time in 2015 for Record Store Day.[18] The album was later reissued by Taylor's own label Flower Moon Records.[19]

"Song Beneath the Song" was included on the first volume of the soundtrack for the television series Grey's Anatomy in 2005,[20] and subsequently became the namesake for a 2011 episode of the series.[21] The song was also featured in the television series One Tree Hill, at the end of 8th episode of the 3rd season.
