"Cloud Nine" Was Inspired By A Break-Up With Shaun Morgan Which Is Present In The Lines That She Quoted On Her VH1 Interview "If You Want To Live Let Live/ If You Want To Go Let Go/ What Are We Doing Here?/ Because I Can Live Without You."These Lyrics May Be From An Early Demo As They Are Not In The Final Song. It Uses Strings Studio Effects And Lee's "layered Moaning." “It's About Breaking Up. There Are A Lot Of Relationship Struggles On The Record. I Always Write About What I Was Feeling Because Then It's Genuine. I Was Struggling With A Relationship And Felt Like A Waste Of Space. The First Lyric Says It All "If You Want To Live Let Live/ If You Want To Go Let Go/ What Are We Doing Here?/ Because I Can Live Without You." Terry Talked About How They Recorded The Song "If It’s Something Like The Song "Cloud Nine " We Got A Cool Drum Beat That We Liked. Then She Came Up With A Vocal Melody. It Was Cool Because I Just Took The Bass And Started Writing The Bass Line To The Actual Vocal Melody. That Was Something Different That I Had Never Really Done. We Never Really Had Any Set Way. If There Was An Idea We Would Just Do Whatever We Could To Move Forward With It."
