Jennette McCurdy (album)

[1] McCurdy was 21 days shy of her 20th birthday at the time of the release and co-wrote six of the ten songs on the album.

Numerous popular country songwriters including Liz Rose, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood of Lady A, and Eric Paslay have writing credits on the album.

"Don't You Just Hate Those People" is a fast-paced country song where McCurdy sings in the perspective of someone who is jealous of all the couples around them, hoping they too will fall back in love soon.

"Better" is a stripped-down country song about a recent breakup where McCurdy reminisces their time together by seeing his things in the corner of her room and looking at old pictures.

The final track, "Have to Say Goodbye", draws influence from R&B where McCurdy sings soulfully about falling in love.

The bonus track "Broken Umbrella" is told in a perspective of a female who will stay by her partner's side, regardless of the situations they face.

Shortly after the release of the album, McCurdy confirmed that she had left Capitol Nashville, citing conflicts with a new series in which she was cast.
