I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger.

...Baby One More Time,

I'm not really doing anything different this time around but I am really growing up, as a person and that just all flows with the overall sound and feel of this record.

I go out with friends, but I don't have time to get in trouble.

I don't really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won't forget it.

There are so many soulful singers, even the ones coming from London, like Adele and Jessie J, who are just amazing. It feels like a really cool time to be making music now.
