Content and Lawsuit
Goodrem worked with a range of producers and songwriters, including the True North production and songwriting team Gary Barlow, Eliot Kennedy, Ric Wake (Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey), Kara DioGuardi (Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne), Matthew Gerrard (Mandy Moore, BB Mak), Vince Pizzinga (Midnight Oil, Danielle Spencer), David Nicholas (INXS, Elton John, George), The Rembrandts and Mark Holden. The album uses mostly live instruments.
Goodrem stated that "I wanted to make an album that reflected me at this time in my life", "Every song takes me to a place where I can remember what happened". She also stated "The album is almost like a diary I have been keeping over the last two years", "Every track has a meaning behind it that's personal to me. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time and I just hope that everyone likes the music as much as I loved making it".
In 2004, Goodrem had been accused of owing thousands of dollars to songwriter Mark Holden. Holden wanted to clear up the terms of his contract with Goodrem and her record label Sony and requested all consultancy fees owed to him under the agreement.
She also faced legal action that same year with her former music producers Trevor Carter and Paul Higgins. They sued Goodrem and her parents over unpaid royalties and for the right to release a 13-track album recorded with Goodrem in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
