"Jenna is blogging about trying to decide between Matty and Jake. I really love the intro to this song—it's kind of pensive and dark, but really dreamy. Jenna is in her bed blogging, and I felt like the mood of this song really captured the mood of being in bed writing in your diary about a boy."

"Jenna is being really demanding and acting like a brat. This song has a really girly and rock 'n roll vibe to it, and I felt like it captured Jenna's mood perfectly."

"Jenna and Jake are intimate. Jenna thinks their chemistry is really good, but Jake feels differently. This song is very upbeat and summer-y, and it sounds like the soundtrack to kissing a boy in the backseat of his car in high school."

"Jenna is writing a fiction piece about what it would be like to not pick either boy as her boyfriend. This song by Spectrals has a super dreamy sound to it, and I was picturing a girl sitting in her bed listening to this song thinking about a boy, and maybe how it wouldn't work out with him. The vibe that this song gives out is totally dream-like, and since Jenna is writing a fiction piece, it seemed to work really well with that idea."
