Singles

"Only Fooling Myself" was released as the album's lead single. The song won first prize in the Pop category of the 2005 USA Songwriting Competition, making her the youngest winner in the history of the competition at that time. She later showcased her song at Borders Books & Music in Austin, TX.^[2] It failed to achieve much mainstream success, but managed to chart at 37 on the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks.

"Hallelujah", a cover of the classic Leonard Cohen hit, was released as the second single in the United Kingdom. It was featured as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of the album. It is her highest charting single to date in several countries, peaking at number 53 on the UK Singles Chart. It is also her only single to enter the Hot 100 in the US, debuting and peaking at number 68. Due to the strong digital sales, it debuted at number 28 on the US Digital Singles chart, as well as number 43 on the now discontinued Pop 100 chart.

"You Can't Break a Broken Heart" was released as the first single from the deluxe edition of the album. It was meant to become her breakout single, and majorly boost album sales, but it failed to chart on any charts internationally or in the US.

The album debuted at number 68 on the Billboard 200 chart on the week of its release. It quickly rose up the chart and managed to peak at number 27.
