I saw the video for it and it is definitely catchy and annoying at the same time. It's kind of an immature song but idk why I kind of like it. Oh yeay and she totally ripped off the Toni Basil "Hey Mickey" song towards the end of it... It will probably be a big hit with all the teenyboppers.

As cheesey as this song is, it is an improvement over Keep Holding On. Just awful writing on that one. At least this one is annoying in a catchy way.

Sort of reminds me when Jewel sold out with that dance music garbage.
Agree 100%. I thought since she was married perhaps her songs would take a more mature turn, but I was wrong.

It's not like she writes these songs - she always has "co"-writers...

There are 1:30 minute snippets of When You're Gone, I Can Do Better and Everything Back But You lurking around on the net. All a marginal improvement on Girlfriend to some degree.

Everything Back But You - Another fast boy-bashing rocker. Ever-so-slightly different from what we've heard before but follows a similar formula to, say, He Wasn't.

I Can Do Better - Musically and lyrically similar to Everything Back But You. Still fun but like EBBY, more of the same.

When You're Gone - A nice enough ballad, if slightly verging on getting the sick bags out. Alot more mature than the other songs and looks promising. This is rumoured to be the second single.

Obviously I'm only going by one single and three 1:30min snippets so it's not fair to draw a real opinion but it looks like we're in for more of the same, though perhaps slightly less maturer that before. (I know I keep saying that word as if its the only factor in her music, but she's 22 for God sake!) These songs might be more excuseable if she were still 16/17, and like someone said earlier, I would have thought her marriage and (short) break from music would have developed and (sorry for this ) matured her songwriting, but obviously not. But we still haven't heard all the album yet, though I'm not in any rush to get it.

I really hope we don't get her CD in the music department where I work, or that they tranfer me out if we do. I ain't gonna get any work done standing in the "L" section staring at CD covers...
