Album notes:
"Foolish"
Talking about "Foolish", Ashanti says, "Irv Gotti came up with the idea - he came up with the whole track. I was a little scared to attempt it at first, because, you know, it was a Biggie classic, and he's like, 'It's gonna be hot, it's gonna be hot.' So he gave me the idea and I kinda ran with it, and then we had 'Foolish.'"
"Unfoolish"
"Unfoolish," a remix of her hit "Foolish," is sending the message, "Girls, we've got to get our act together," Ashanti told MTV, "It's like, 'We're not gonna take it anymore. I'm glad to get you out of my system. I'm not gonna be foolish anymore.' It's an uplifting record."
"Leaving"
"It's hot," she exclaimed. "Actually, when we shaped and molded it, it was supposed to be like 'Always on Time Part 2.' In 'Leaving,' it's like, 'I'm leaving. I gotta let you know right now I'm leaving.' And [Ja's] the one that's [saying the] 'baby don't go' type of thing. So it worked out really good."
"Call"
" 'Call' is hot," she boasted. "I really like 'Call.' It's like when you call on someone, kind of similar to 'Always on Time.' 'When you call I come running baby. ... I'll be right there for you, but only you can call on me like that, though, 'cause I've got love for you.' "
"Happy"
"Happy," which she suggested will be dropping in the next few weeks, is also about dropping your defenses. "It's just a great vibing record. It's a feel-good record, especially for the summer, and that's where we kind of want to gear it toward. I'm talking about how you found that person and you were searching for him and you're just happy."
