1	* CreatorBacklash: "I think I sound terrible [on my older songs] — as a vocalist, I think it's horrifying," JoJo says with a laugh. "I love to perform those records live, because I have a different perspective on those records now. At 13, I didn't even have my first kiss yet. What the fuck was I talking about? 'Get out'? Get out of where — my playground?"
2	* CreatorBreakdown: Starts every era off with a break up song. ''Agape'' is basically her expressing her frustration at her recording company and people not following through on their promises. "We Get By" and "[=Back2thebeginningagain=]" deal most directly with her, to state it simply, ''bad'' luck.
3	* {{Dedication}}: Billions to her parents/family, Andre to her favourite artist, Agape to her dog, Mixtapes to her fans, The High Road for her fans, and others.
4	* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: Her first two albums, ''[=JoJo=]'' (2004) and ''The High Road'' (2006), were unavailable for a long time digitally due to her contractual battle with the notoriously mismanaged Blackground Records. After she was released, [=JoJo=] eventually re-recorded her first two albums.
5	** As of February 2022, the original versions of both albums have returned to streaming services.
6	* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Her 3rd album was held back since 2007, before finally seeing release in 2016. Here is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WojkFloZAXE&feature=youtube_gdata_player [=JoJo=] discussing her unluckiness with recording companies]]. Almost 9 years...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_WYKdneIn4 9 years]]...needless to say, fans were ''extremely'' happy once she finally dropped a new album.
7	* TroubledProduction: A full decade passed between ''The High Road'' and ''Mad Love'', her long-delayed third album. During that period, her label went broke twice, was horribly mismanaged, and didn't even have an ''office'', and yet she was still stuck in her contract; in the meantime, she made a handful of [=EPs=] and mixtapes. It took her a long time, but eventually, she was finally released from her contract and has been doing well for herself ever since.
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: She was offered the lead role in ''Series/HannahMontana'' but turned it down because she didn't want to do a TV series.
9	* WriterRevolt: Due to the huge release issues with her third album she's been releasing Mix Tapes every couple of years to give her fans something to listen to.
