Roots to Grow is the second studio album by Swiss recording artist Stefanie Heinzmann. It was released by Universal Music Domestic on September 11, 2009, in German-speaking Europe. The follow-up to her 2008 debut album Masterplan, the singer reteamed with producers Paul NZA and Marek Pompetzki to work on the bulk of the album. Pushing her music further into soul and funk genre, Roots to Grow features guest vocalists such as Gentleman, Ronan Keating, and the American R&B group Tower of Power.
Critics praised the album for its laid-back yet soulful blend of styles, while also highlighting Heinzmann's artistic authenticity, genre versatility, and her clear move away from formulaic mainstream pop. Commercially, Roots to Grow was less successful than its predecessor but reached number four on the Swiss Albums Chart and made it to the top twenty in Germany. Leading single "No One (Can Ever Change My Mind)" peaked at number twenty-seven on the Swiss Singles Chart.
