Stuck In My Mind (Rowan Blanchard album)

Stuck In My Mind is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Rowan Blanchard. Rowan had signed to Darkroom and Interscope in May 2013 and began writing songs alongside Max Martin and Shellback during the summer. The album was released on May 1, 2015.

Background
Blanchard began acting in television and film in 2010. She signed to Interscope Records and Darkroom after she had expressed interest in having a career in music. In 2014, she began starring in Girl Meets World which led her to stardom, as it was her first lead role in a television series. She then began working harder on her album, according to her producer, Max Martin. He said, "She was really happy to finally have a stable audience through her show and said she wanted to work harder on her album for her fans. She was just so excited. It was amazing".

Prior to the release of the album, Blanchard appeared as a featured artist on Drake's Right Hand. She said, "My dad is actually friends with Drake, so my label thought it'd be cool if we collaborated as a joke, obviously. So that's why after Drake basically telling some woman how much he needs her, there's this little girl rapping about unicorns, raindrops, cotton candy and lollipops". It peaked at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum.

Music & lyrics
The album features ten tracks on the standard edition, with six additional tracks on the deluxe edition, which includes three new songs, an acoustic recording and two remixes. The album is a pop and soft rock record, full of acoustic and country styles. It embodies influences of pop rock, power pop and hawaiian folk. All tracks were co-written by Blanchard.

The album opens with "All Stood Up". The song tells the story of Blanchard's thirteenth birthday party, during which her best friend (and crush) didn't show up, leading her to force herself to get over it. It details numerous things, such as Blanchard holding back tears while blowing out her birthday candles, hiding in the bathroom while sobbing and sending angry text messages to him.
