It was released in late 2005 under the independent label New Millennium Records Group.

The title "Songs from the Attic" was chosen because it was written and recorded in the attic (turned recording studio) of music producer Tim Simms' house in Hollywood, California.

The album was re-released to retail stores in July 2008, while White was on tour with American Idol.

In the video, White playfully acts out her story as a beauty school dropout who moves to Hollywood to pursue a singing career.

The video helped her place 2nd in a radio contest in Hollywood, California.
