The lyrics for the title track were written eight years earlier, before she was signed to her label. It was the song that got her signed. Maguire included "Don't Mess Me Around" on the EP in order to go back to the beginning, before the fame and the fall.[4] "Boomerang" uses hip-hop beats and a gospel spike, "Dream Big" provides inspiration with a slower pace, and "Sherlock" drops back into snarling 1950's blues as it deals with betrayal.[5][6]
