Unlike most other pop singers, Page blended country music styles into many of her songs. As a result of this crossover appeal, many of Page's singles appeared on the Billboard Country Chart.

DONNY OSMOND; a change of perception

everybody is interested in my song that was itself inspired by one that Justin Bieber wrote. When I saw the video for his song "Lonely," I thought, Boy, if anyone can relate to that story, it's me, because I've been through the same thing. So I wrote "Life After Loneliness," because in it, I talk about the fact that he's a star, and that light that he has will never dim because he's the real deal. He's made the leap that I've been able to - to get away from the teenybopper thing and have people recognize me as a writer and a musician. He's made some odd decisions in his life, but he's found love and some normalcy to his life. So, that song, "Lonely," inspired "Life After Loneliness" on my album.
