Composition
The album opens with its lead single "So Yesterday", that according to Duff, is an empowering song about breaking up with someone and getting over it. The song, that incorporates elements of pop and rock music, was cited as having influences of Avril Lavigne. The second song on the album, and second single, "Come Clean" documents a relationship between a boy and a girl who feel they are "in the dark" about each other; in Duff's words: "they're coming clean, whether it means they're gonna be together or not." The third song on the album, "Workin' It Out".
The fourth song and third single is "Little Voice", a re-revision of the 2000 single "The Little Voice" by Swedish recording artist Sahlene. The song speaks of having a conversation with ones conscience. The fifth song on the album "Where Did I Go Right?". The album's sixth song "Anywhere But Here".
The album's seventh song, "The Math". The eight song "Love Just Is". The ninth song "Sweet Sixteen" is a song that Duff described as being "really fun", and relateable to what she was going at the time.
"Party Up", the tenth song on Metamorphosis. The album's title track "Metamorphosis" is a song about "getting over a boy". Duff insisted the song was not about fellow singer and ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter, with whom she was rumored to have broken up after a fight. "Inner Strength" is, "ery empowering and uplifting" and "really beautiful". The final song on the album, "Why Not" was previously released on the soundtrack for The Lizzie McGuire Movie, a film in which Duff starred in.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
