Attitude & Virtue

The opening song, "Back in the Hand", is about Hart's rise as a young artist and later decline in popularity. "The song is autobiographical, sort of a positive statement from me", he told the Vancouver Sun. Hart added, "It's a song that I sit back and say, 'There are going to be peaks and valleys'."[4]

The album as a whole was inspired by Hart's travels through Asia and Africa. The song "She's Everywhere" is a tribute to the worldwide popularity of singer-songwriter Madonna, while "Poster" expresses the anger and frustration Hart felt in China when he observed people his age whose individual choices were repressed for the collective good.[4]
