By the Numbers
Ron Fair produces most of the record and the writing is spread across a wide bench of outside professionals, with Kara DioGuardi the most frequent. Nicole Scherzinger is the only member credited as a writer anywhere on it. The closing track is a medley of two Motown-era songs, which is the album stating its own relationship to authorship fairly plainly.
