Recorded on the in the genre of gospel and contemporary Christian music, the disc had low sales, which did not allow him to get into the charts . Three years later, having already taken mother’s maiden name Perry as a pseudonym, under the direction of Glen Ballard of Island Def Jam, she began recording the new album A) Katy Perry , whose release was however canceled.

In addition, the songs “ Thinking of You ” and “ Waking Up in Vegas ” were released as singles from this album, the first of which could not break into the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and the second stopped in ninth position there.
