==Writing and content==
The album saw Chambers co-write with her then husband Corey Hopper. These tracks include "Follow You Home", "Guilty as Sin" and "More Than Ordinary?" about a rejected lover. She states "It was good fun writing with him [Hopper] because I don't normally co-write. I have tried to do it in the past. I've done a little bit of songwriting with my dad and one of my mates. I found it a lot more comfortable writing with someone I know really well. You are pouring your heart out and giving them your deepest darkest secret and feelings. It is hard to sit down with a total stranger and do that. None of the songs I wrote with Corey were planned moments. We just sat down and they feel out."<ref name="undercover">[[Paul Cashmere|Cashmere, Paul]], (30 September 2010). {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20160304053307/http://www.undercover.fm/videos/169-kasey-chambers-undercover-interviews "Kasey Chambers Interviews"]}}.

It was just a really beautiful story in the way he told it and remembered her. It was just moving enough for me to sit down and write that song."<ref name="billboard article"/> The first track "Pony" features baritone guitar by [[Steuart Smith]] who has also worked with [[the Eagles]] and [[Shawn Colvin]].
