Youngest sister Alana takes a firm hold on the vocals for the title track and sees the album make a shift towards a very different style. The catchy lyrics have an anthemic feel that is drenched in a girl power attitude, making them the main contenders for being the coolest girl band since TLC. One of the strongest tracks on the album, this is a fun, bouncy soft rock song, fuelled by their addictive synth and bass combo. Don’t be fooled that this a departure into soppy, sentimental territory though, with lyrics including "Doing just fine", the track maintains the same energy and power as the other songs. Danielle’s cooing vocals are hugely reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, especially accompanied with the summery guitar rhythms. Lacking some of the punch of the other tracks, ‘Honey & I’ seems to be gentler moment on the album. The classic Haim bass line injects funk, ensuring the post break up regret theme is something you still want to dance to. An 80s love affair from the start, the heavy use of synths and a clapping beat makes this the ultimate dance ballad with an R&B edge. This comes as the first unheard track on the album and takes the album in a slightly moodier direction.

Surprisingly one of the weaker album (just an indication of how good the others are), nevertheless this song came as the Haim sisters' debut, released before they’d been signed.

A slow heavy drum thump leads to Danielle's strong lead vocals, peppered with lots of fierce "Heys" (something which transpires to be a Haim trademark throughout the album), a catchy pop chorus and a prominent bass line that features on many of their tracks.
