Recording
The album was recorded in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California. After Brooke's debut album, Undiscovered, failed to achieve much success, Brooke began recording new material for a second album only two months after the release. However, Brooke stated at the time, in December 2006, that the recording was not serious, and more for fun than for another record. Brooke was slated to re-release her debut album in February 2007, but opted to record her second album instead. Brooke did more writing throughout the spring of 2007, and stated she would be splitting from her label, SoBe Entertainment. Brooke later retracted those statements in August 2007, but did state she was very unhappy with her debut album and did not feel it truly reflected her as an artist. Brooke also stated she felt "controlled" by and disliked working with Scott Storch, and consequently would be departing from his company, SMC, but would remain with SoBe Entertainment. Brooke then stated in October she had signed with another label that works alongside SoBe Entertainment, called Fontana Records, and she was very happy with them. Brooke stated in November 2007 that she was then seriously recording her second album, and it would be released in late spring or early summer of 2008.
In July 2008, Hogan stated she wanted to write and record more songs as she was enjoying taking time with the album which she felt was more "her". In September 2008, Brooke stated she was 50% done with the album, and could have it out by March 2009. Hogan later stated in March 2009 she was about 90% done with the album, and would record over the course of the next two or three months, just to make sure it was a better album than her first, because she felt that she made a lot of mistakes making that album. In early May 2009, Brooke recorded the second single "Hey Yo!" with Colby O'Donis, and eventually had a short fling with him as seen on Brooke Knows Best. Hogan stated on June 18, 2009, she was finally done with what she called her best album. Brooke stated she had spent two and a half years making the album, and had recorded from December 2006 to June 2009.
