Cool & Dre. While working on the song, "Who's Gonna Ride", Dre ran into Three 6 Mafia at the studio and they agreed to feature on the song. The album completed within a three-month period, whereas Milian's previous albums would take six months to a year. Milian received writing credit for nine songs on the album. Milian did not try to write mainstream records for the radio; rather, she wrote about "everything, about your life and concentrate on you doing you."

So that's probably my biggest obstacle, just stepping away from doing the usual that I know and stepping into something new. Once I got past all that, it was just easy. With flying colors, I started writing all the records." Composition Milian described ''So Amazin as a "consistent, very real and personal album". A problem Milian had with her previous album, It's About Time, was that it did not flow. The various pop and urban influences in that album confused the audience, and Milian wanted So Amazin to paint a
