[edit] Songs

The song "Come to My Rescue" was the first song White ever played for Tim Simms, and it was with this song that Simms "knew he'd found something special. It was just like...when the hairs on the back of your neck go up." Their goal was to keep the album "organic." Along with the songs co-written by Simms, White and Robin Randall, the album has two covers: "Dream On", originally by Aerosmith, and "Yellow", originally by Coldplay.^[2]

The song "Free" was shot as a music video. It was directed by Braden Barty and produced by Tim Simms. In the video, she acts out her story as a beauty school dropout who moves to Hollywood to pursue a singing career. The video helped her place 2nd in a radio contest in Arizona.
