Her fifth studio album, ''[[Wildflower (Sheryl Crow album)|Wildflower]]'', was released in September 2005. Although the album debuted at No. 2 on the ''Billboard'' charts, it received mixed reviews and was not as commercially successful as her previous albums. In December 2005, the album was nominated for a [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album]], while Crow was nominated for a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy for the first single "[[Good Is Good]]" at the [[48th Grammy Awards]]. However, she ultimately lost in both categories to [[Kelly Clarkson]]. The album got a new boost in 2006 when the second single was announced as "[[Always on Your Side]]", re-recorded with British musician [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] and sent off to radio, where it was quickly embraced on [[Adult Top 40]]. The collaboration with Sting resulted in a Grammy nomination for [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals|Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals]] at the [[49th Grammy Awards]]. As of January 2008, ''Wildflower'' has sold 949,000 units in the United States.<ref name="billboard1"/>

Crow's first concert after her cancer diagnosis was on May 18 of that year in [[Orlando, Florida]], where she played to over 10,000 information technology professionals at the SAP Sapphire Convention. Her first public appearance was on June 12, when she performed at the [[Murat Shrine|Murat Theater]] in [[Indianapolis]], [[Indiana]]. She also appeared on ''[[Larry King Live]]'' on [[CNN]] on August 23, 2006. In this show, she talked about her comeback, her breakup with [[Lance Armstrong]], her past job as Michael Jackson's backup singer, and her experience as a breast cancer survivor.

In late 2006, Crow was nominated for a Best Original Song [[Golden Globe Award]] for the song ''Try Not To Remember'' from the film ''[[Home of the Brave (2006 film)|Home of the Brave]]'' at the [[64th Golden Globe Awards]].

In early 2007, Crow was scheduled to sing at an annual benefit concert for the [[Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital]] that sportscaster [[Bob Costas]] hosts every year. Her performance was opposed by [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] Archbishop [[Raymond Leo Burke]] due to her position on abortion. Burke resigned as chair of the medical center's board of governors when Crow's appearance was confirmed.<ref name="U.S. 2007">{{cite web | title=St. Louis archbishop tangles with Sheryl Crow | website=U.S. | date=April 26, 2007 | url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-religion-crow-idUSN2640389720070426 | access-date=December 12, 2020 | archive-date=December 14, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214011245/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-religion-crow-idUSN2640389720070426 | url-status=live }}</ref>
