In 2001, Moore began working on her third studio album, which was said to move away from the "bubblegum pop" sound and image she became known for. Moore said during an interview with "Billboard" magazine that "All of the music has started to look and sound the same" and that she chose to move in a different musical direction. Moore also said that she wanted "no more dancers, no more singing to tracks. I got tired of that in a big way".
