After David managed to crack the American music industry with his hit debut studio album , '' Born to Do It '' , his musical style began to alter to appeal to the worldwide market on his second studio album . In an interview with ANDPOP 's Adam Gonshor , David revealed the inspiration for some of the songs on the album . He was forced to stay in a hotel room for a week following the September 11 attacks in New York City in 2001 , and it was this event that inspired him to write the song " World Filled with Love " . In the interview , he said , " I was thinking , I 'm actually in this world that 's filled with madness , with this drama that 's going on . Some of the things we were talking about in music , in the big picture , are so trivial ... I thought music is a form of escapism , so I used it to write a song hopefully for positive means to say , we are in a world that 's filled with love . " David also commented that the album title could be looked at in two different ways : " On the one hand , it 's coming across like I 'm arrogant . On the other hand , it 's saying I have a lot more composure on the album . " The album was leaked onto the internet prior to its official release , but David was not too bothered as he felt that it " spreads the word "
