While recording ''Music/{{Tusk}}'', Stevie began writing songs for herself. Once promotion for that album was done in September 1980, she began to produce the album with Jimmy Iovine and Music/TomPetty.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** "Edge of Seventeen" is based on a discussion with Tom Petty's wife about how she had met him when she was 17. She was amused by hearing her accent make it sound like she was saying "edge of 17" instead of "age of 17", and decided to use that as a song title.
** ZigZagged regarding "Leather and Lace". While they had been lovers in the past, the relationship between Nicks and Henley had already run its course, though its aftermath was far less acrimonious than the aftermath of her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham.

'''''Bella Donna''''' is the first solo album recorded by American rock artist Music/StevieNicks of Music/FleetwoodMac. It was released through Modern Records on July 27, 1981.

''You're saying i'm fragile. I try not to be''\\

''And i am stronger than you know''\\
''But i carry this feeling when you walked into my house''\\

''Still i carry this feeling when you walked into my house''\\
