There are a couple of strictly country tunes (the rollicking first single “Are You Lovin’ Me Like understated "When the Hurt Comes Down’) and there is a remake (the tried and true ”Since I Don’t Have You”). Rhythm and Biles dominate some of the other tracks.

The album is a winning combination of ballads (slow and rock), rhythm and blues, dance and hard rock. It appeals to every musical taste with the exception of rap. They haven’t gone that far yet, but one day Chicago might surprise you with a rap tune. The strongest songs on the album are "Only Time Can Heal The Wounded," a. song about reviving a broken heart; "Who Do You Love?"
