Carlile's music through the years has been
categorized in several genres, including pop, rock, alternative
country, and folk.
She said of her
style, "I've gone through all sorts of vocal phases, from pop to blues to
R&B, but no matter what I do, I just can't get the country and western out
of my voice."

The album was released June 5, 2012, through Columbia Records. The
album was produced by Grammy Award winner Trina Shoemaker. The

Hang on, just hang on
for a minute
I've got something to say
I'm not asking you to move on or forget it
But these are better days
To be wrong all along and admit is not amazing grace
But to be loved like a song you remember
Even when you've changed
Tell me did I go on a
tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
When you're lost you
will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust
And you'll hide from your god like he never turns his back on us
And you'll fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife
And you'll learn who you are even if it doesn't take your life
Tell me did I go on a
tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
But I want you to
know that you'll never be alone
I wanna believe do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet
When you fall I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
When that's what you see, that will be me
That will be me, that will be me
That will be me.
