Ok I did some research, and she did burn out before. It was after touring for her first major label record, "Little Voice" She didn't even want to write anymore, wow. But she eventually started working on the second record, Kaleidoscope Heart. She is a big coffee drinker btw. Not sure if she uses expresso in her coffee. I wonder if the coffee helps the creative process. Must be something to it. Ok, so when she starts writing songs for the second record, she began to feel the pressure of having to follow up the success of the first record. Deadlines began approaching and she had to ask her manager for more time because she only liked 4 songs on the record, but the manager said she can record just the 4 songs. She did that and finished the rest of the album a month later. Interesting, she says here "I wrote the rest of the record in about a month, largely based around the song "Uncharted" that still feels like the centerpiece to me. My fear of what was to come was keeping me from doing anything. And finally, I cared about what I was saying.
As homage to the song that freed me, I took the title of the record from its lyrics."
