Album information

The album was recorded over two years during 2005 and 2006, excluding "The Mirror" which was originally released in 2004 as a b-side to Wood's debut solo single on Warner Music, "What R U Waiting 4". All songs on the album are co-written by Wood, excluding the Divinyls cover of "I Touch Myself". The record takes an uptempo pop rock approach, covering a number of themes such as relationships ("Spin the Bottle", "I Told You", "Ain't Dun Nothing To U"), falling asleep behind the wheel ("Wake Up"), body image ("The Mirror") and the entertainment industry ("Devil in Your Soul", "Free Your Mind"). The imagery for the booklet and artwork was inspired by Wood's love for the 1940s burlesque look.

Herald Sun music reporter Cameron Adams gave the album three stars, stating, "Wood hasn't got the budget for hot overseas hitmakers, but has a powerful voice and never sounds out of depth amid heavy guitars...In a word: sassy".
