This album is a strictly R&B album with alot of ballads and the album is pretty good if you like mid-tempo songs or ballads to relax to.
1. New Life (Intro) (Feat. Mary J. Blige) - The album starts off with Monica calling her good friend Mary J. Blige speaking on her life. Mary gives her very encouraging words and just tells her to continue moving forward with the support of her kids and her husband
2. It All Belongs To Me (Duet with Brandy) - In this song the ladies are just wanting everything that they bought back when the relationship ends.
3. Daddy's Good Girl - Monica tells her man that she needs him to tell her that he loves her more than buying things for her.
4. Man Who Has Everything - This song has a really smooth island beat and is basically talking to a man who has everything but deserves a woman who also has her own and can love him back and is always there for him.
5. Big Mistake - This song is talking about the big mistake of trying to make a relationship work after several mistakes which eventually showed that it clearly did not work. In my opinion, Monica was talking about her kids father Rocko.
6. Take A Chance (Feat. Wale) - In this song Monica starts by telling him that she is willing to take a chance on a relationship with him regardless of the women that he dated in the past. Wale then comes in talking about how he does not care about her past either and has cut the other chicks off.
7. Without You - This song is clearly a love song dedicated to Monica's husband where she sings about not being able to do anything without him and how much she loves him.
8. Until It's Gone - This song has always stuck out to me after watching the music video which served a very good point that goes along with the song itself. I really believe that one of the more important lines in this song says "I guess it's true that people say, you never know until it's gone".
9. Amazing - Here is another love song that simply says to the significant other how amazing they are while she expresses her love for him.
10. Cry - Monica goes on to tell him that he can let down his guard and cry in front of her. This song is all about that level of trust in a relationship.
11. Time To Move On - This song kind of gives me a 1950's feel with the beat and the background vocals. The song basically talks about the time to move on when the relationship is over. This song is a good ending to the standard version of the album/
12. New Life (Outro) - At the ending of the album Monica basically talks about leaving the past in the past and not looking back.
Deluxe Edition
13. Breathe - In this song, Monica sings about needing her space after the end of a relationship. She is just saying that she needs time to breathe.
14. In 3D - Monica sings about how she could see her and this guy together for the long haul. She goes on to explain how clearly she can see them together like in 20/20 or in 3D.
15. Catch Me - This song goes on to explain how she is really in love and wants him to catch her as she falls in love.
16. Anything (To Find You) (Feat. Rick Ross) - Monica remembers music from the 1990's on this track and briefly samples Mary J Blige's "You're All I Need" and Biggie's "Who Shot Ya" beat. Monica sings about doing anything to find her dream man that she has dreamed about for a long time. She goes on to talk about past relationships that did not work out.
