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:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Vices enter into the composition of virtues as poisons into the composition of certain medicines. Prudence and common sense mix them together, and make excellent use of them against the misfortunes that attend human life.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
