I Belong To Me (Bonus Track) Jessica Simpson quotes on the album: * "I think that with my music, you can't help but tell people a story about your life, I believe that every artist, that's their artistry - it comes out of them naturally, through lyrics, through music, through instrumentation. So with this next record, you will see and hear a lot of things I've been going through. And if that can offer any inspiration to anybody else going through the same situations, so be it. That's why I'm here." * About "Back To You": "It's a ballad that reminds me of Janet, It's a really raw, stripped, kind of naked song that's just honest." * "Living in the South for three months again felt really good," Simpson said of shooting the film in Louisiana. "It brought a lot of my personality back that I was missing. I retreated back to Patsy Cline, and tried to go back there a little bit." * "You'll hear [the country], but you'll also hear the fun club songs. Club songs and country songs; it's all of it, mixed into one, just really good music." * "I look at this new record from a different perspective than I had with all my other records because basically I'm doing the A&R work, I'm executive producing, I'm writing all the music - I'm doing it myself". * "There are some fun dance tracks, and it's probably more up-tempo than my last record. Music is supposed to make you smile and experience emotions. I don't want to get caught up in the pressure of having the right single or having a smash hit. All I know is that every single song that comes out of me I want to hear on the radio. " * "I literally walk into the studio and hand him [Jimmy Jam] a CD of all my favorite songs that I want my album to sound like. It's everything from Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline to Etta James. Jimmy got it from the very beginning." Other Facts: * Scott Storch describes the track entitled "Fired Up" as 'Jessica's 'Dirrty'. * 'A Public Affair' is the first single off the album. * Simpson recorded another club track, "Mr. Operator," with Storch during their session together three weeks ago. * Jessica wrote all but one song on the album. * She recorded a cover of Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacherman", which didn't make the album after the changes. * Jessica wrote 'Fired Up" for CaCee "since that's what she always says". * 2 more tracks revealed: "Sexified" (not on the album) and "Back To You". * "Back To You" is a flashback about her first boyfriend in high school, inspired by rereading old journal entries.
