"All I Wanna Do" is a really nice love ballad written by Ron Harbin, Richie McDonald (of Lonestar) and Anthony Smith. "All I wanna do, is kiss you. All I wanna be, is with you." This song would be perfect for attracting the young females to their music due to the words and the fact that it is slow. This song could also be released to the pop charts as there is not any overly country sound to it.
"Live It Up" is the first single and video from this album. This song gives the message that you need to let loose and enjoy yourself before it is too late. If you spend your whole life being serious, later on in life you will regret that you did not have any fun. The video features the guys walking into a Saloon and getting the locals to liven up and dance around and have a good time.
"I'll Never Miss That Girl" mixes talking and singing. All of the guys are riding around and a guy reminisces about the spots where he and his girlfriend ate, where he carved her name into a tree, and where she left him. Meanwhile, the other guys are bantering and saying stuff like "Man, shutup! We're on the radio!" before you can hear the chorus being sung by every member of the group. "Even though I think about her all the time, I'll never miss that girl."
"Special Girl" is one of the few uptempo songs on the album and it is written by group member Todd Michael Sansom. There is something about the girl that makes him feel and do things he wouldn't otherwise (he even waits by the phone all day for her to call). He has never felt this way and he wants to let her know how special she is so he sings this song.
"Enjoy the Ride," another song written by Todd Michael Sansom, is my favorite from this album. You should enjoy the blossoming of of a new love and remember how fun it feels. I think this catchy tune would make a good second single.
Minutes after "Enjoy the Ride" ends, you will be surprised with a spectacular rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." These guys did an amazing job on this one.
Their harmonizing is excellent on every song and you can tell that they worked on the album and did not give a half-hearted attempt at this.
