The EP contains two top twenty-five U.S. '' Billboard '' Dance Club hits ; " Just Wan na Dance " and " Free the World " . The autobiographical EP is described as the soundtrack to her memoir '' Starting Over '' . The EP has reportedly seen over 72,000 downloads worldwide , thanks in part to her NY Times bestselling book of the same name . Work on the album began in 2001 when Jackson was moved to write " Free the World " in the wake of the September 11 attacks . The song 's positive reception spurred on Jackson to write more songs , ending up with a full album . The album 's title is a reference to the six years Jackson spent out of the public 's view in order to rebuild her life after divorcing manager Jack Gordon
