"Extraordinary" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore. The first single released from her 2007 album "Wild Hope", it is also the first track on the album. The song differs significantly from her earlier work. Whereas songs such as "Candy" and "I Wanna Be With You" are synthesized bubblegum pop, "Extraordinary" has a more organic and instrumental sound. It features violins, drums, and guitars. According to Mandy Moore's official MySpace blog, the song explores her feelings of inferiority and her effort to try and break free from thoughts.

This song was written by Mandy Moore with The Weepies and produced by John Alagia. The Firm Music Records and EMI Records released digital single for this song on 10 April 2007.

The song wasn't a major hit in America but was an MTV favorite and did well overseas. The song was also on the "A Walk To Remember" soundtrack in 2002. It also debuted a brunette Mandy Moore.

Single Review: Mandy Moore - In My Pocket

"In My Pocket" (2001) is the first song released by Mandy Moore from her third album "Mandy Moore" and her fifth consecutive single overall. "In My Pocket" was a mix of techno / R&B beats with a Middle Eastern sound. The song was slightly more mature than other Mandy Moore songs and was an entirely different approach for her as an artist at the time. Though the song did not become a huge hit, it did give Mandy Moore a bit more of a unique sound and image, helping her to break through the stereotypical pop princess such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson, all of whom she had spent much of her career previous to this song being compared to. The single was released on 29 May 2001.

Single Review: Mandy Moore - I Wanna Be With You

"I Wanna Be With You" is a song by Mandy Moore, released as the first single from her second album "I Wanna Be With You". The single was released on 11 April 2000 and soon became Moore's highest chart topper, going all the way to the Top 25. The vocals were very soft as almost all Moore's songs are. She does however belt the final chorus. The single was more successful in Australia, spending over 25 weeks in the top 100 and reaching number 11 on the ARIA charts. This song was written by Shelly Peiken, Tiffany Arbuckle and Keith Thomas.

Single Review: Mandy Moore - Candy

"Candy" is the debut single by American pop singer Mandy Moore released from her debut album "So Real". The music video, directed by Chris Robinson, had a cameo by the girl group PYT and a cameo by Scarlett Johannson. This song stands as a classic example of a teen pop song from the late 90s or early 2000s. Record labels began riding the wave of teen-oriented pop music, which would result in a huge phenomenon sweeping the globe, including young female singers such as Mandy Moore, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera. The melody and tune of the song has a marked resemblance to the Max Martin penned 1996 song "Do You Know (What It Takes)" by Swedish pop star Robyn. The chorus has a signature chord inversion progression. The single was released on 17 August 1999 under Epic Records.
