Soy una simple chica en un mundo complejo canta Ashlee Simpson, en Autobiography (Autobiografía) un tema de su álbum debut.
Ashlee co-escribió todas las canciones del álbum. "Sólo he querido lanzarme y hacer un gran disco sin preocuparme en qué estilo encaja" dice ella. "Fui a pasar un buen rato y lo hice. Es un disco de rock, con un aire fresco. Es la primera vez que las personas podrán escuchar cual es mi sonido... Me divertí mucho haciendo este disco. Es un álbum de rock con espíritu pop".
Producido por John Shanks (Michele Branch, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morrissette, Unwritten Law), el álbum tiene elementos de rock, punk y pop, recordando las bandas favoritas de Ashlee - desde Janis Joplin y Steve Nicks a Pat Benatar, The Pretenders y Blondie, pasando por Fiona Apple, Hole y Green Day.
Ashlee ha co-escrito cada una de las canciones del álbum dónde ha trabajado con gente como Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Benjí Madden (Good Charlotte) o los mismísimos The Black Eyed Peas.
La canción La La es acerca de fantasías sexuales, es pura diversión. "Hay mucho sarcasmo en ésa canción", dice Ashlee. "Es algo que toda chica piensa, así que decidí hacer un chiste de eso. Es una de esas canciones con las que se puede bailar".
Pieces Of Me es el primer single.
Letra "Pieces Of Me"
On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me
Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
Well, I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah
On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...
