Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    A couple of drippy love songs; a couple with good strong relationship messages.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    No worries.
  • Sex:

    Very sexy, but not explicit.
  • Language:

    "Hell" and "damn" are as strong as it gets.
  • Consumerism:

    Very commercial sound, but no brand names or tie-ins.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nothing obvious.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About It's About Time

Parents need to know that although this CD is mostly dance-party fluff, it does deliver a few of songs with good, strong relationship messages. The rest of the tracks are fun, sexy dance tunes and an R&B ballad or two, clever innuendo with a wink and a smile.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the messages of a few songs in particular: On the infectious "I Need More," there's a positive message for girls; "Oh Daddy" is about the aftermath of a father abandoning his family; and "I'm Sorry" finds Milian saying no to a married man.

    Very Nice Album

    "It's About Time" is a good CD from Christina Milian. There is no bad language. Sex is mostly implied ("Dip It Low"). "Highway" is about sex, but since it is a metaphorical song it's not that innapropriate. I recommend it to fans of Mya.
