Editing 0304 (section)

==Background==
Within the booklet to ''0304'', Jewel includes a note to her fans, explaining, "This record may seem different to you. To me, it's closer to what has been in my head for years. I wanted to make a record that was a modern interpretation of big band music. A record that was lyric-driven, like [[Cole Porter]] stuff, that also had a lot of swing. And a lot of it is thanks to Lester (Mendez), because when I told him I wanted to make a record that combined [[Dance music|dance]], [[Urban music|urban]], and [[folk music]], he didn't look at me like I was crazy. I loved making this record, and it's the first record I enjoy listening to. It's fun! I hope you all love it. I hope it makes you feel young and sexy and smart."<ref name="Albumism">{{cite web |last=Harrison |first=Quentin |url=https://albumism.com/features/jewel-0304-album-anniversary |title=Jewel’s ‘0304’ Turns 20|website=Albumism |date=May 28, 2023  |access-date=May 22, 2025}}</ref> For the album, Jewel teamed with producers [[Lester Mendez]] ([[Shakira]], [[Enrique Iglesias]]) and [[Rick Nowels]] ([[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]).<ref name="About"/>
