Moore's earliest hit to be featured on the album is "Candy", the first single from her debut album So Real (1999). The two other songs that are included from So Real are "Walk Me Home" and "So Real". "I Wanna Be with You" was first featured on I Wanna Be with You (2000). "In My Pocket" was the first single from her self-titled second studio album. "Crush" was the album's second single following the mildly successful "In My Pocket". "Cry" and Moore's cover of Only Hope by American band Switchfoot tied in with the romantic drama film A Walk to Remember, Moore's debut as a lead actress. Four songs from her third studio album Coverage (2003), were included, among which is Moore's own versions of "Have a Little Faith in Me" and "Senses Working Overtime". "Top of the World" was featured in the films Stuart Little 2, Bridge to Terabithia, and Surf's Up. The final track in the compilation is a cover of Doris Day's "Secret Love" from the Mona Lisa Smile soundtrack.
