Clark began writing songs at the age of 11, and was discovered by Big Machine Records after posting a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" on Facebook, where it received 27 million views. She was signed to Big Machine at the age of 15. [2] The title track on the EP was written by Clark at the age of 15, after she experienced her first breakup. She told Hollywood Life that people had told her that "what I was feeling wasn’t real yet or wasn’t valid yet, just because of how young I was", but that "it felt very real to me!" [3]
Melinda Newman writing for Billboard praised the EP, saying that Clark had "confidence and verve". [4] Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, proclaiming that Clark is "poised for stardom", and naming "Don't Need It Anymore" as his personal favourite, stating that it "showcases [Clark's] wide range as a recording artist". [5] Forbes' Rianna Turner noted the influence of Southern church music and "90s and contemporary country radio hits" on the EP, saying that Clark's "mature vocal timbre" and lyrical quality gave the EP a timeless quality.
