Review:  This is Cosgrove’s debut album.  The songs are mostly about new love and losing one’s first boyfriend.  The songs are mostly pop, with a few slow songs.  There is not really a big dance feel to the album.  It’s more of a CD that one could play in the background as they are doing homework or getting ready for school.  The only single to come off of this CD is “Kissin U” and most promotion of this CD was done through music videos on Nickelodeon.  My favorite song on the CD is “Shakespeare.”  The song is a girl asking a boy if he likes the same things she likes.  I feel like this is the most honest song on this CD and the one that many girls will relate to as they get to know boys.
