"With All of My Heart" starts the album with a pumped up pop-worship song. It obtained the #1 position for 3 weeks on the CHR Charts, and featured in the top 5 on AC radio charts. It was covered by X.ado.
"Even If" is a euro-style dance track.
"Dismissed" is a dance pop/R&B song. The bold lyrics encourage young ladies to end ("dismiss") unhealthy relationships while also, ZOEgirl sings about not giving in to Satan.
"Waiting" is a slow song, and talks about the God waiting for individuals to come to Him.
"R U Sure About That?" consists of a mix of electronic pop and Spanish guitar; Beethoven's "Für Elise" is plucked out. The song talks about guys, girls, and the truth about life. At the end of the song, a Baroque-styled bridge includes a short "radio talk" and a transition to the next track.
"Ordinary Day" is yet another upbeat song.
<!-- Given the immense amount of information regarding this radio-released single, a separate article for it may be required. --->
"Plain", written solely by Kristin Swinford is a slow, soft pop song. The lyrics are similar to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful", as it reminds the listener that they are a precious treasure, no matter what others say. However, while ZOEgirl's song features references to God, Christina's does not. Later, on their final album (Room to Breathe), Kristin writes "Skin Deep" to once again address self-esteem struggles.
