The sophomore effort will not only continue with the Dance-pop/Electronica style but will also incoporate a Reggae sound. Gomez said in an interview with Z100 New York that it will feature some songs that did not make it onto the first album and that the rest of the band will be much more included on it. When asked about plans for a new single the frontwoman said:
"I think we might go right into the second album so it might be something completely different. Hopefully we'll get the next single out before the summer because [we] have a new song that's just a really fun summer song and I want it out really soon!" On May 26, Gomez confirmed via Facebook that the record's first single, "Round & Round", premiered on June 18, 2010. The music video premiered on June 20, 2010.
