In 2005, Oakenfold was contacted by the car manufacturer [[Toyota]] to create a free promotional CD available from [[aygo]].com to promote a new Toyota car. The CD contained only seven songs which he worked on with Ian Green; the album was entitled ''Feed Your Mind''.

{{cquote|I think the [[Hollywood Bowl]] was the most memorable experience. It's a very unique venue that never had a DJ play there before me. The likes of [[Frank Sinatra]] and the [[Beatles]] had performed there so it's a truly magnificent place – it holds about 15,000 – and it was a big achievement for me as much as Wembley and the Great Wall because it had never been done. After seeing that gig, [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s management were there and asked me to be the opening act for her on her 2006 tour, which also added to the experience!|||said Oakenfold in a [[Ministry of Sound]] interview.<ref name="ministry" />}}

His single "Ready Steady Go" was composed for the 2005 video game ''[[Juiced (video game)|Juiced]]''. His second studio album, ''[[A Lively Mind]]'' was released on 6 June 2006. Receiving unsuccessful reviews, the first single "[[Faster Kill Pussycat]]", a collaboration with the actress [[Brittany Murphy]], was released on 2 May 2006; the second single was "[[Sex 'n' Money]]". Both songs stand out from the rest, as most of the album has a more trance-like feel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/pm/reviews/article/paul-oakenfold-a-lively-mind/ |title=Paul Oakenfold: A Lively Mind |access-date=2008-06-11 |publisher=Pop Matters}}</ref> Gregory Jeffries from [[AllMusic]] stated the album might have been in the nominated albums of dance music in 1997 but not in 2006, as the album has guitars with disco sounds that might be only appealing to trance addicts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://shop.mtv.com/A-Lively-Mind-2007-Grammy-Awards_stcVVproductId4258976VVcatId424651VVviewprod.htm |title=A Lively Mind |access-date=2008-08-18 |publisher=MTV |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727140033/http://shop.mtv.com/A-Lively-Mind-2007-Grammy-Awards_stcVVproductId4258976VVcatId424651VVviewprod.htm |archive-date=27 July 2011}}</ref>
