My dreams are coming true and you better believe it is only the beginning.” Alexander also posted three songs from the album on her MySpace player. Listen to ‘Believe’, ‘How I Feel’, and ‘Bad Name’ at myspace.com/alainaalexander.

Ryan’s a great guy and he’s super talented but that’s seriously all it was.”
