A Little More Personal (Raw)
"
Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was released as the album's first
single, and radio and video promotion for it began in late October 2005. Though three singles had been released from her debut album
Speak (2004), "Confessions" became her first to make an appearance on the main U.S. singles chart, the
Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at number sixty-six after being released as a
digital download on
iTunes on
November 8 2005, and peaked at fifty-seven. Its
video, a favorite on
MTV's
Total Request Live, depicts scenes from Lohan's childhood touching on her father's drunk driving and family abuse. Lohan herself directed the video, and the younger Lohan was played by Aliana Lohan, her younger sister.
The follow-up single was "I Live for the Day", but without a video or radio airplay, the single went unnoticed. the last single from the album will be ¨If Its Alright¨ which is also going to serve as the first single from the soundtrack of the film
Flushed Away.
The album cover art features red lettering on Lohan's back representing the Chinese character "ç"Ÿ" (
Pinyin: shèng;
Cantonese: Säng), which denotes "raw"; there are several other meanings depending on context, including "living" and "giving birth".
