The album included more self-penned songs, written in collaboration with US and UK songwriters. She is also featured on Madcon's 2007 album So Dark the Con of Man and some Tommy Tee releases.

She’s on a Friday Night Express

She got her nails done and a brand new dress

She got a secret in her eyes that even make-up can’t disguise

And all that matters is right now

A melody is on her lips

She feels a tingle in her fingertips

Tonight the worlds a friendly place and all her troubles melt away

And all that matters is right now

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high

Gone with the wind and she flies like a feather

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high (so high)

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high

Gone with the wind and she flies like a feather

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high (so high)

She falls relentlessly in love

And she will never try to get me down

Just dictated by the crush, so addicted to the rush
All that matters is right now

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high

Gone with the wind and she flies like a feather

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high (so high)

Gone with the wind, not coming down till it’s over

Ready to fly one more time

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high

Gone with the wind and she flies like a feather (she flies like a feather)

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high (so high)

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high

Gone with the wind and she flies like a feather

Gone with the wind and the wind’s gonna take her high, so high
