The EP contained a total of six tracks. These songs were all co-written by Block with other songwriters. Five of the album's tracks featured co-writes from Sarah Jones, while two tracks featured Emily Kroll.[1][5] Block has described both Jones and Kroll as friends. "there’s something about the three of us girls getting together, where I feel we always write great songs," she told Songwriter Universe.[6]
