The album is based loosely around some class-room skits, questioning the meaning of love, the different forms of which are the main subject matter of this album. The set kicks off into the harsh ragga-influenced tones of "Lost Ones", which is softened with the sung chorus. Throughout the album, where you would expect a guest rapper or singer to appear, Lauryn Hill takes care of it herself, switching effortlessly from one form to the other. The sparse beat of "Lost Ones" allows L-Boogie to display her thoughts, and some say that this barrage is aimed at Wyclef (who is noticeably absent on this album, as are the rest of the Refugee Camp), although she has denied this.

A song such as "Ex-Factor" begins with a Wu-Tang sample, but this is soon forgotten as the song builds up and the chorus "care for me, care for me, i know you care for me, there for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me, cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me, give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me" is so touching and heartfelt, and as the song ends with an elegant guitar solo, you can't help but feel for her.

Her parenthood is obvious on "To Zion" where her voice soars as she sings happily about her love for her son over a string laden track. The way she sings here is so moving that you can't help but see how her son has changed her life, and he is the main focus for her. The single "Doo wop (That Thing)" is one that is likely to do well in the pop charts without being a straight up pop song as it contains a message warning men and women to watch out for the opposing sex. The amalgamation of the rapped verses followed by the sugary singing of the hook over a track full of horns and that simply nagging piano leads to a result that will be huge everywhere: on the radio, in the club, worldwide. Great to see something like this. Lauryn showing people what is happening without them realizing it.
