Follow-up single " Baby It's You" featured rapper Bow Wow and became JoJo's second top-40 entry in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the single also performed well, reaching number two. In the United States, the single peaked inside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, and also topped the Pop 100 chart, making her the youngest artist in history to do so. The album was preceded by the release of JoJo's debut single, " Leave (Get Out)", which achieved critical and commercial success worldwide. Occasionally, the album dips into other genres such as hip hop and soul music. Amongst those included is a cover of R&B group SWV's 1993 song " Weak", in addition to one collaboration with Bow Wow, who features on the single release version of " Baby It's You". JoJo recorded a number of songs for the album over an eight-month period.
While recording the album, JoJo worked with many producers, such as Brian Alexander Morgan, Soulshock and Karlin, Vincent Herbert, Mike City, Balewa Muhammad, Tre Black, Bink!, Kwamé "K1 Mill" and The Underdogs as well as others, to handle production for the album. JoJo co-wrote three out of the 17 tracks on the album. A special edition of the album featuring three bonus tracks, was released simultaneously alongside the 14-track standard edition, which was only made available in some European and Oceanian countries. Incorporating pop and R&B, JoJo was influenced by Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Brown, and Aretha Franklin, amongst other of JoJo's idols.

Similarly, "Good Ol'" is the best summer anthem ever to see release in the fall, and "'Comin' for You" smartly borrows some of Kelly Clarkson's rock energy. Cuts such as the gorgeous and dreamy "Like That" and "Anything," with its unexpectedly hip sampling of Toto's "Africa," make for gleefully enjoyable guilty pleasures. Coming off as a kind of urbanized Jennifer Aniston with the chops of Beyoncé, Jojo is an assured and likeable performer who can somehow embody the yin-yang persona of a suburban cheerleader slinging hip-hop attitude, as she does in the video for the ridiculously overwrought and utterly addictive lead-off single, "Too Little Too Late." It also helps that she's matured just enough so that her somewhat sexy persona makes a bit more sense now than it did in 2004, and she easily sells the cheeky and raw dance-funk of such tracks as "This Time" and "The Way You Do Me." However, it's the blissfully melodic ballads and mid-tempo anthems that make the biggest impression here. These are well-written, catchy pop songs with a healthy dose of hip-hop rhythm that serve as solid launching pads for Jojo's superb vocal abilities. What may be a surprise is that it is really, really good. Featuring production and songs by such in demand hitmakers as Swizz Beatz, Soulshock, and Scott Storch - the man who made Paris Hilton sound good - it should come as little surprise that The High Road is a commercially oriented, radio-friendly contemporary pop-R&B album. To say that the release of her 2006 sophomore effort, The High Road, finds Jojo on the cusp of superstardom is a bit of an understatement. Released when she was just 13 years old, vocalist Jojo's 2004 eponymous debut was a bona fide hit album and garnered the young pop star a legion of equally youthful fans, as well as lead roles in two films, including the 2006 comedy RV alongside Robin Williams.
