I titled my album 'Breakthrough' because I had a breakthrough. All my life I have had really bad stage fright and had been fighting with my insecurities that I had gained over the years from when I was a little girl. They were distracting me from living my life to the fullest and enjoying my career that was at my fingertips. So I decided to breakthrough all of those barricades I built around myself, take chances, accept new challenges and risks everyday, and not take myself to seriously anymore. I wanted to send this message out to all of my fans who have been going through life settling for less and letting their fears get in the way of their dreams.

My favorite song is 'Fearless.' I love the production -- it's so emotional and honest with a heartbeat behind it. Its a different style song than I've ever written before and there is a great message in the lyrics. I wrote it from someone else's perspective: the guy whose heart I broke. It's about him telling me that I don't know enough about love, and that I need to be careful with how I use it. And that even though his heart is broken, he will be fearless with relationships he's in, in the future.

I started writing songs when I was on tour, then after I got home from finishing my 'Coco' tour, I went to Kauai with my friends Jason Reeves, Kara Dioguardi and Mikal Blue to write more for my record. I also wrote with some very talented songwriters and producers from L.A. when I got home from Kauai, which was a new experience for me. The recording process was completely different then it was for 'Coco.' I worked with five different producers, recorded at six different studios around the L.A. area, new and amazing musicians played on my record, and I got to spend four months recording it, which was so much fun. I got to make it the masterpiece I knew it could be.

All I know is when I saw the drawing of me I tripped out. I thought it was so cool. It looks exactly like me. I am honored to be in the Archie comic book.

Well, my guitar player Justin, my make-up artist Erika and myself, went out of our hotel in Hamburg, Germany, to get some local dinner. The streets were so unique looking and beautiful that I wanted to film it. On our short walk, we met a group of guys that had a cute dog, but they were creepy so we kept walking. I was filming our whole walk with my flip video. Then, we were crossing the street to the restaurant that we wanted to eat at, and on the corner there were some prostitutes just hangin' around on the sidewalk. They saw me with my flip cam, walked up to us while they were yelling something in German, and then one of the chicks socked me in the side of the head. Erika and I immediately walked away, and Justin stayed there for a minute trying to calm them down. Then we all got outa there, laughed about it, found a new place to have dinner and then I tweeted to the world about what happened to me. We live and we learn...
