Search - Nick Carter :: I'm Taking Off

Nick Carter is taking off, both literally and figuratively, with his appropriately titled new album I?m Taking Off. The album?s title is representative of Nick?s philosophy. "I felt like this was my moment. I?m rising to the occasion and taking off," he says with conviction.
The album, according to Nick, who co-wrote every song on the record, is diverse. "It has songs about love, happiness, the sad parts of love-it?s got some dance tracks on it. You can play it for your loved one or you can play it in the club."
The first single, "Just One Kiss," is an uptempo hit about a struggling relationship. "There are probably a lot of people in this world that have had this situation," says Nick, who wrote the song with Dan Muckala and Jason Ingram. "Someone has fallen out of love with them and they want that one last try, even though they?ve messed up. The guy in the song is basically admitting his faults and asking for that one last chance."
The album?s title track tells quite the opposite story. "The song is about a relationship and how this guy is having a realization about the person he?s with and so he wants to leave," Nick explains.
While the album includes an impressive array of writers, it was important to Nick that he be part of the process. "I wanted to make sure my input was in there and that all of me was in those songs," he says.
The album?s producers include some notable names that reinforce its diversity: Muckala (Backstreet Boys), Toby Gad (Beyonce), Brent Kutzle (OneRepublic), Noel Zancanella (Rashaan Ahmad), Carl Falk (Gavin DeGraw), Rami (Celine Dion), Matthew Gerrard (Jesse McCartney) and MIDI Mafia (50 Cent).
