The album reached the top 20 of the charts in United States, Canada and Australia. She has also created a comic book, with the help of Naomi Franquiz and Marla Vazquez, based on her song "Gravel to Tempo".

Breakthrough
Up, down, spinnin' all around
Fly, high, fallin' to the ground
Sometimes dreams can feel so far away
Time, keeps, skippin' out a beat
Life feels like a string of cloudy days (here we go)
Sometimes it's raisin' your voice
Sometimes it's makin' some noise
Sometimes it's provin' to the world it was wrong
Whenever you can't see the light
Whenever there's no end in sight
Keep on, keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Here comes a breakthrough, here comes a day
Here comes a moment that you gotta go for it so don't let it get away
It's all about breakthrough, just turn the page
'Cause everyday I'm getting closer, life is just a roller-coaster
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop till you break it all through
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop till you break it all through
Stop, still, take another breath
Roadblock, move it to the left
Get around whatever's in your way
Heartbreak, picked up all the pieces
Don't stop dancin' in the bleachers
It's gonna be your turn to play, gonna be your turn to play
Sometimes it's raisin' your voice
Sometimes it's makin' some noise
Sometimes it's provin’ to the world it was wrong
Whenever you can't see the light
Whenever there's no end in sight
(Here we go) keep on, keep on movin' on
Keep on movin' on
Here comes a breakthrough, here comes a day
Here comes a moment that you gotta go for it so don't let it get away
It's all about breakthrough, just turn the page
'Cause everyday I'm getting closer, life is just a roller-coaster
You can see it in the blind sight, movin' through the limelight
Groovin' to the music I'mma use it when the time's right
Hoping I can do it through the shadows, I can shine bright
Usually in life there's one shot and this is our night
Listen to the rhythm we givin' and it will make you
Start pushin' through barriers it'll take you
Wherever that you wanna go, never too late to
Keep pushing till you break through
Sometimes it's raisin' your voice
Sometimes it's makin' some noise
Sometimes it's provin' to the world it was wrong (world it was wrong)
Whenever you can't see the light (can't see the light)
Whenever there's no end in sight (no end in sight)
Keep on, keep on movin' on
You keep on movin' on
Here comes a breakthrough, here comes a day
Here comes a moment that you gotta go for it so don't let it get away
It's all about breakthrough, just turn the page
'Cause every day I'm getting closer, life is just a roller-coaster
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop till you break it all through
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop till you break it all through
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop till you break it all through
Shake it, till you make it till you break it all through
Don't stop, here comes a breakthrough
