Songs we have not heard:
Ragdoll (Timbaland) (tells off a lover for mistreating her. "Our love must be tainted," she sings, "if that's how you paint it. ... Don't you see my black tears?" Sometimes, though, she sounds like she likes it — telling her would-be suitor, "You can touch me now/ Toss me up.")

Follow You Wherever You Go (not produced by Timbaland) ("Broadway thing" — a jazzed-up number inspired by her work in the West End production of "Chicago")

Bittersweet World ("The song is saying that, and "Why can't we all just get along?" It's a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing, but it really is one of those love-to-hate kind of things.")

Never Dream Alone ("a sweet emotional song that has been stripped down to piano, strings and vocals")

Hot Stuff ("cattiness of girls")

Can't Have It All (Timbaland)
