DioGuardi wrote "Come Clean" with John Shanks as a "personal statement" to herself. At the time, she had just finished work on Marc Anthony's sixth studio album, "Mended" (2002), and was "really, really uninspired writing to tracks". DioGuardi felt as if it was "very binding", as "the melodies had to be within the constraints of what was going on in the tracks". According to DioGuardi, the song was "kind of this statement for ", as she was "getting away from all of that" and "going to go back to the way it should be done in music". "Little Voice" was written by DioGuardi and Patrik Berger for Swedish singer Sahlene.
