Composition
The album's main genre is pop music, but it features roots of jazz, R&B, and reggae, which is very apparent in the first single, "One Love." Almost all the songs are about teen romance, from crushes and love at first sight, to breakups and broken hearts. "My Shoes" is about school crushes, "Boyfriend" is a confident assertion that her boyfriend won't be stolen by a flirtatious rival, and "Simple Things" is a song about how much pain can be caused by the smallest reminder of a former love. However, not all of the songs on this album are about love. "Permission to Fly" is about finding your own identity, and in "Unconditional" Pruitt sings about how unconditional love gets her through the toughest of times.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“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)
“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)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
