As Campbell explained , " I was just going through all these emotions and thinking about loads of things and while I was going through that I was doing the album . On the track , " Trying , " I was angry one night and I was crying and that tune came out . So it was that kind of vibe . " In addition to garnering serious emotions from her relationship , she also became very tempestuous from watching the news . An example of this is " What This World Needs Now , " a song based on Campbell 's feelings towards the 2010 Haiti earthquake ; the title of the song was conceived by his husband . Nate Patrin of '' Pitchfork '' labeled the album 's lyrics as " evocative without shutting out the possibility of some elusive subtext . " The relationship on '' Playin ' Me '' starts with " He Said I Said , " where an unnamed male tells the main character of the story , Cooly G , to relax at his home . By " What This World Needs Now , " the male takes control of her . Mike Newmark of '' PopMatters '' described the song as a " confusing track — seductively , maddeningly so — made no clearer by the title implying that love , sweet love , will make everything all right . " He analyzed the track 's " chords that throb atop the slick double-time beat imply not love , but sex — erotic , confounding , destabilizing sex . " By the piano-driven " Come into My Room , " Cooly G becomes too weak to not accept her partner 's sexual advances
