* CareerResurrection: To help Kesha escape from her abusive and controlling label manager Dr. Luke, Zedd re-released ''True Colors'' as a single with Kesha's more powerful vocals over it. Not only did the song make sense, given her situation, but it was the first track Kesha released on her own since 2013's "Timber". Needless to say, the track was successfully able to positively lift Kesha's spirits, and get her back into the world of pop music.

** Matthew Koma was initially going to be the vocalist for "Clarity", but the role ultimately went to Foxes since Koma couldn't hit all the high notes in the song, and refused to let Zedd pitch up his voice to get him to hit it. Additionally, if Zedd's manager hadn't discovered Foxes, "Clarity" likely would've been left off the debut album due to deadline issues.
