Jaci Velasquez says that she has always known what she has wanted to do with her life-sing. So she has pursued her dream ever since she was ten years old. She prayed for a chance to sing at the White House before she turned thirteen and God granted her wish. She started recording her debut on her sixteenth birthday-October 15, 1995.

While mainly focusing her attention on delivering her songs, she did co-write one of the songs on her album: "I Promise" which shares the message of abstinence. She had several brilliant songwriters on her project including Wayne Kirkpatrick, Michelle Tumes, and Chris Eaton.
