Background and development
At the end of 2002, the fourth single taken from the debut album "Footprints" was scheduled to be the song titled "Tuck Your Shirt In". However, due to various reasons, Holly opted to begin working on her second album. In this album, Holly aimed for a complete transformation, expressing her desire to move towards a more mature artistic approach in comparison to her debut work.
In strong contrast to her debut album, Holly took an active role in the development of this project, becoming deeply involved in both the sonic development of the album and the composition of its lyrics. Holly helped to co-write more than forty songs. For the album's lead single, titled "State of Mind", Holly found inspiration in the influences of 80's rock and electronic-dance music.
The album's genre, electropop, differs slightly from Valance's previous album Footprints (2002), She stated, "It's kind of different 'cos at the time I was listening to rock, I was listening to dance and lots of electro and I loved them all equally. I thought what would happen if we put them all in a pot and see what happens the people I was working with at the time really like that idea. So everyone was working on the same level with the same goals in mind. What we wanted to get out of it was a bit darker, a bit harder. It's a very kind of upbeat record and that's what I like to do."
