Headstrong

Headstrong is the debut album by American singer Ashley Tisdale, released on February 6, 2007, by Warner Bros. Records. Tisdale began working on the project after the first installment of High School Musical. Tisdale described her work on the album; "…I didn't really know who I was and I was trying to figure out who to do. I now am way more comfortable in my own skin." The performer worked with a variety of established writers and producers on the album, including Diane Warren, J.R. Rotem, Ryan Tedder, Evan "Kidd" Bogart, Bryan Todd and Kara DioGuardi, among others. Commenting that the album garnered its title from her personality, Tisdale said she wanted to use her first album to formally introduce herself "personally", and not as one of the several characters she is known for. Headstrong's style derives mainly from the genres of pop, hip-pop and contemporary R&B, backed by electronica. Additionally, the album incorporates hip hop beats, while some tracks infuse dancehall and some styles of world music. The album, lyrically, discusses themes central to modern teen pop, such as broken hearts, crushes and self-confidence.
