"In This Life is a song about basically letting go. It's for every woman, man, child, teenager, anyone, who is just afraid to do things or try new experiences. It's basically telling people to let go and just be a free person because we only have one life and we shouldn't waste it. We should be happy and always enjoy each moment as it comes. It's for that girl who's being talked about in school or that guy who is being bullied because of what he wears or the lady who can't seem to find what she's looking for or the man who just has given up hope on life. I think everyone should come out of whatever they are going through and see that sometimes life gets hard but we should live our lives to the fullest with no regrets. If you live your life in fear all the time, you'll miss out on all the great and wonderful things that life has to offer.

Gia is one of my favorite producers and she just seems to know what sound you're looking for without even telling her. I've recently became a fan of House music and it's just so invigorating and energetic and that's the sound I want to make with my new album which this single will be on. I want my album to be that album you listen to when you're down or when you need a good song to pick you up or you wanna dance and feel amazing. I feel it's my duty, especially as a female artist, to help and create positive and true messages for people to listen to."

"Imperfections (Are the Best) was definitely one of my most inspiring songs to write. It's the feeling that all people get, when they feel they aren't good enough to be with someone and it takes themselves to figure out that they are fine. I loved writing this song because it was just pure honesty and relateable. I went through this with an ex and sometimes you start to take to heart what people tell you but you shouldn't. It's more of a self-discovery song, it's a process of finding out that yes, you are beautiful and you do have flaws but they make you, you. I think I wrote this song in like a hour because it was just really easy to write about something I've been through. It's also in a way a message for anyone who gets bullied. I think they should stand up and say 'Hey, I know I'm not perfect and you don't like the way I look or dress, etc, but I'm fine with the way I am and I love me so you're the one with the problem'. It's really a honest song about what I think of myself in a lot of ways. There's also some points in the song where I was talking about I doubted myself and thought he was right but it's all about really knowing yourself and being comfortable with yourself.

Gia was really pushing this song to be on the album, because initially it wasn't going to be but she really thought it should be on the album. I trust her judgement completely so we put this song on the album and I'm glad we did. I usually don't second guess myself but I'm positive this song was a crucial part of my album. She completely trusted me to write because usually she helps me with my writing or someone else does but she gave it all to me and said 'Have at it!' and so I did."

"This track was inspired by my little sister. She was talking to me about a boy she had a crush on and I just though 'Man, I remember when it used to be so simple to date and it was so innocent' so I was wanting to write a song about it and then it turned into a song about when you get older and you don't find that love anymore. You don't find those innocent guys who just are honest and wanna care about you. In a sense it's also talking about you not being able to find that love you once shared with someone before. The sound was absolutely something I didn't imagine myself doing but it really turned out great. There was a sort of indie feel to it which I've never done before so that was fun. As I said before, this album has some different sounds and a variety of shades of me.

Sunny Monroe is a songwriter that Gia had referred me to so she could help me with the song. She was really nice and patient so we hit it off fast. She told me to just relax and paint a picture with my words so I tried. She has this thing where she likes to close her eyes, dream for a moment, wake up, and then write. I tried it and the product was this song, it's amazing. We had a lot of fun working on this song. She has really helped me with my songwriting throughout the album. I've never thought I was the best songwriter but she really helps you to gain confidence and just try different methods of writing. This was probably one of my favorite songs on the album, really hits home. I wanted a track on here that can make you think but also makes you reflect and I think this track was definitely the one to do it."

"I believe this track has a very summer, teen feeling to it and I wanted to direct this to girls everywhere. It's about how I see a lot of girls are today. They base everything on their looks and seem to think that's what they should mainly be concerned about but it's not. It's really rare to see girls not wear tons of make up and think looking otherwise isn't beautiful or appealing. It's about trying to better yourself and forgetting all that you thought you knew to become someone new. I'm telling them to leave that girl behind so they can embrace the other side of life. It tells of how girls can sometimes feel as if they are not enough but they have to constantly compete to be someone in the world and I wanna tell them that they don't need to look like magazine covers or centerfolds because all that matters is how you see yourself and if you're happy with the way you are. It also goes for the opposite, if you feel you should change something then go for it because all that will matter in the future is what you think.

When I was given the beat for this song, I thought I was going to be writing another love song but those weren't the words that came out. It turns out I had this on my mind and the words came out naturally and after a few hours I had finished the song. At first it was going to be kind of a happy song but then of course Gia knew that it had to be sung a certain way and I think that really affects to whole song. She is just really a genius when it comes to music, she knows how I sing and how I should sing on certain songs. Despite the depressing feeling most might feel, I think it's a really good summer song and it almost has that atmosphere to it. It's another one of my favorites."

"I believe me and Chloe together made an amazing party record! Her rap skills and my singing skills really bounced off of each other and then the production, it was just amazing. I asked Chloe to do this song with me because I knew no one else could sound as good as she does on the track so I'm really fortunate she agreed. It's no secret I love her as an artist and as a female rapper so lots of love and girl power on this track.

The lyrics are basically somewhat simple. I wrote about someone who loves me and ultimately saw the best in me, so he's kind of the hero I'm referring to. When you get to the chorus, there's kind of another meaning within the song. Basically almost similar to what In This Life was about, motivating people and getting them to come out of their shells to have fun. It's saying people sometimes act differently when there's no spotlight or light shining on them or when no one's around so they feel free and can act care-free. I'm typically a care-free person whether someone's looking or not but I'm all for having fun and living life to the fullest."

"This was a very emotional song for me to sing. It's a song I wrote for my mother after she had lost her baby. I didn't talk much about it and neither did she but you could definitely see the pain she had in her eyes for a while after it happened. Fall From Grace is essentially me talking about my baby sister, whom we lost, and it's just me kind of lashing out and saying what I thought. I was thinking that it wasn't fair that this happened to my mother or my family. I was kind of getting emotional in the song because it was sad for me to think about what could have been and what didn't happen. I was also trying to say how my mother was feeling or what any woman would feel had this happened to them. It talks about the pain and the dreams getting crushed. I was also referring to how she didn't get to grow or see the world and it's just a terrible thing for anyone to go through.

This was probably the fastest song I wrote on the entire album just because it wasn't hard for me to describe how I was feeling about it. I'm not sure if my mother or family would listen to this song because even though it happened some months ago, it's still a touchy subject to them but I've gotten better and I can talk about it which is why I made this song in the first place. I just wanted to make something that people who have lost any child can really relate to because it's a touchy subject and there's no real way to get over it. The title of the song was going to be called what my mother was going to name our baby sister, 'Daniella' but I thought it would be better to leave it as is."

"I really love this song, it's so much fun to listen to and sing along with. Basically the song is me speaking on how sometimes labels want you to act a certain way or be a certain way in order for you to be successful. I have been been through that and I'm really happy that I'm not going through that now. It's me saying 'No I won't write what you tell me to, I won't dress the way you want me to, I'm my own person'. It's something I encourage actually, individualism. I don't think it's a bad thing if you wanna be like someone or maybe act like someone but I'm not a fan of letting that define someone. I was writing and Gia was like talking to me, saying that I should make this type of record and so I tried to get mad at her so I could write the song and it worked! (Laughs)

Gia came up with the beat and she wanted this to be a super fun song so all the effects were her idea and I heard them, fell in love. The song practically wrote itself, it's like a whole different persona in that song. I loved being different and doing something this crazy. The beat and the tempo are just insane and it's meant to be a dance, club-like song. This is another song that almost didn't make it but I really fought for this song because I think the album is the perfect place to put it."

"I really enjoyed working with my best friend on this track, it's absolutely amazing to work with someone who you know and trust to be on this song with you. She really made the track jump to me and her voice has always been strong and really soulful which seem to really fit in with the rock sound of the song. It was essentially a finished song but I wanted to add someone else to it and I knew that Jen would be perfect for the song and then I told her and she recorded her vocals. The song is about not being able to let go of someone and they always seem to appear everywhere like when you're looking a mirror, you see their reflection all the time.

It's kind of weird, singing a break up song but with a happy feel to it. Gia and Sunny really helped me write this song, most of it actually. I wrote the chorus and the first verse but then I got stuck and that's when they jumped in to help. Sunny has this way of being able to get you to tell how you're feeling with words on paper. She really can get the best out of someone and it's portrayed through the song. To me, she's a lyrical genius and she really deserves a lot of credit for this album and helping me out like Gia did."
