go somewhere and girls give you the mean eye. You're like, 'oh, wow – this is crazy.' 'Hot Stuff' makes fun of that. That song is meant to be a good time." Simpson co-wrote and co-produced “Never Dream Alone” with Kenna. The song is a spare ballad that is “stripped down to piano, strings, and vocals,” with Simpson citing it as her favorite on the album. The Houston Chronicle said the title track "Bittersweet World" has "the snap-and-wink of a showtune”. According to Simpson, the lyrics are about people coming together and not judging each other". "No Time for Tears" was described as a "melancholy ballad" that "segues spooky Eurythmics verses into a pop-punk chorus". Release and promotion Bittersweet World was originally eyed for an October 2007 release and production and recording was reportedly completed that November; however, the actual release date was shifted multiple times, beginning with a delay to the first quarter of 2008. On February 5, 2008, Simpson released a three-song digital EP, which contained the tracks “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya),” “Rule Breaker,” and a track from I Am Me, “Catch Me When I Fall”. Though Bittersweet World's release was expected in March, its new date was revealed to be April 15 as Simpson did promotional radio interviews. The album was officially released on April 22. In December 2007, Simpson said she planned to do a “smaller club tour” for the album. The 13-city tour began in January 2008 at the Myst Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, and ended at Mansion in Miami Beach in March. Simpson, accompanied by her guitar player and a DJ, sang four songs as part of her set—three from Bittersweet World and "L.O.V.E" from I Am Me. After the tour ended, Simpson spoke of plans of doing a House of Blues tour with her band for the summer. Leading up to and following the album’s release, Simpson made in-store appearances at Walmart and appeared on various TV shows, including the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Simpson also did promotion in Europe, performing “Outta My Head” on The Paul O’Grady Show and on BBC Sounds. Clothing retailer Wet Seal partnered with Simpson for a collection of tops designed by the singer to coincide with the album's release. In May 2008, Simpson confirmed her pregnancy, and summer tour plans were postponed and eventually canceled. Singles "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" was made available
