Background

Produced by Jewel and recorded at the singer's home studio in Stephenville, Texas, Lullaby contains 10 self-penned songs as well as covers of popular nursery rhymes and lullabies.[3] Jewel stated:

"This isn't just a 'kids' album, it's really a mood album—perfect to relax to at the end of a long day. It will soothe and lull children, but was also written and sung for adults to enjoy and unwind with."[3]
