Liner notes

"nebula" is a dance ballad. I think both styles blend really well, because even though it's got a catchy beat at the same time it's a deep and meaningful ballad. It was co-composed by Jeremy Allred, who created the piano melody and the main synths, while I created guitar, strings, bass and mandolin melodies. The lyrics talk about dreams that are hard to achieve and how sometimes we feel discouraged and fall into a phase where every day seems like a bad day, so even though it's a sad theme to sing about I tried to write and sing from a positive point of view so it'd be encouraging. 

"Oh My God!" is a really catchy pop song. It's got a fun beat and a melody that gets stuck in your head easily, and the chorus includes some autotuned vocals that are also really catchy. The lyrics talk about meeting someone and falling for them so soon you don't really know how to act or what to say, wanting to catch their attention at the same time.  

"Cheap Love" is a pop-rock song. I wanted to turn it into a rock song at first, but the beat was fun to listen to so I thought it'd be better if I added a more radio-friendly pop sound to it. Through the lyrics I talked about relationships where both people don't seem to be on the same page. I personally wrote it about friendships, but I think the theme can be applied to love relationships as well where you care about the other person much more than they actually care about you, which is the idea where the title itself comes from.
