"1999"
(Steve Wilkinson/Lawrence Corky Lang/John Heaton/William Wallace)

Amanda Wilkinson, lead vocal

Steve: "I wrote this song with a bunch of friends in Stouffville, Ontario, before we ever moved to Nashville and it's been kicked arond for years."

Amanda: "It was originally called '1989' and I have loved it from the minute I heard it. I always wanted to sing it, but at the time, the content was a little mature for a 12 year old...especially since I was born in 1982! We thought about it again for the last album, but everyone agreed that the time still wasn't right. So, for this album, we brought it up again and Russ said, 'Why don't you change it to "1999"?' We knew the album was coming out early in the new year, and that I would be 18 and able to sing the lyrics. I'm thrilled to finally be able to sing it."

"Don't Look At Me Like That"
(Charlie Craig/Rob Crosby)

Tyler Wilkinson, lead vocal

Tyler: "From the first time I heard this song, I couldn't stop listening to it. It hit me immediately, and we said, 'This has to go on our album.' In fact, we were so excited about it that we put it into our show that very same week. It's a fun song to sing."
