I write about it because I fall in and out of love quite a bit. “When I was in junior high, I would carry around this huge volume of Shakespeare. I take the risk of when I’m writing with somebody I’m not as afraid to say, 'Hey, what about this idea?' When I was young I was a little bit more afraid to step out and to make a mistake.' The album reflects the 'emotional' and 'dramatic' music of her adolescence, with Dobson using Janet Jackson's ' Black Cat' as a specific example. No one will like that.' 'I can't write that by myself because no one will understand.' And now, I put myself out there a little more. When I was younger I used to write and go, 'Oh, that’s not good enough.' 'No. Also, I’m not this, like, tough on myself. I find that I write on this record from guitar starting off. In an interview to Idolator, Fefe said: 'Now, I write a lot more on guitar. This caused numerous more push backs since Island wanted Dobson to write new tracks for the album, and omit previous ones. Two years after Dobson spoke with, she was picked back up by Island. However, during Dobson's songwriting and independent period, Joy had faced multiple delays due to her management, Chris Smith Management. She said in an April 2007 interview that her new efforts were coming along nicely and should see the light of day sooner than later. She then decided to go back to her roots and create a new album on her own terms. Dobson was dropped from her label, Island Records, upon the shelving of her album, Sunday Love, after the release of two singles from it, the album was later released digitally in 2012. In the interim, several of her songs were covered, including ' Start All Over', a song which was recorded for Sunday Love, but never made the album, by Miley Cyrus, ' Don't Let It Go to Your Head', the first single, by American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, and 'As a Blonde', which was covered by Selena Gomez & the Scene. I think a lot of times we get really hard on ourselves and we're like, 'Oh, this needs to be perfect! This needs to be perfect!' But, what is perfection, right?'īy 2006, Dobson returned to the studio to work on what was to become her unreleased album at the time, Sunday Love, which featured collaborations with such artists as Billy Steinberg, Matthew Wilder, Cyndi Lauper, Courtney Love, Joan Jett, Nina Gordon, The Neptunes and Rancid’s Tim Armstrong.

So the process was easier because I’m more patient with myself. I’m still growing and I’m still figuring it out, but at least I have my head around it a little bit more than when I was 18. 'But on this record it, I know what I like and I know what I want to sound like on stage.
