We Could Be Together

Produced by Gibson and Fred Zarr, the single was edited from its original recording. This song featured the talents of Matt Finders.

Critical reception

Bryan Buss from AllMusic wrote, ""We Could Be Together", in which she basically tells her friends and family to go fly a kite, is practically anthemic in its joy at taking a risk on love: "I'll take this chance/I'll make this choice/I'll give up my security/for just the possibility/that we could be together/for a while." It's teen pop at its best: it makes you feel young, it makes you want to sing, it makes you want to fall in love."[1]
