Aly on why this was her favorite song on the album:

“Rush,” obviously, was the single, and we have a connection to that song and the cool second life that it was given after its release and the years that followed it. … Many kids were listening to that song as closeted children and they had this anthem that helped them associate with being genuine to who they are and that they didn’t need to be afraid of coming out to their parents or meaning to conform to society. And it’s cool that that song really struck a chord with a lot of kids at that age, because the song I don’t think was necessarily intended for that. But the message behind it is so, so much about embracing who you are. … [Another] one of my favorite songs would probably be “In a Second.” I really think that song is really beautiful. And I remember recording that song and AJ doing, like, all of the lead parts and I just did all the harmonies on that. And I remember it being a real vocal track that was focused on AJ and how beautiful and simple it was in its production and its message.
