Written by Fefe Dobson, Jay Levine and Bryan McCollum, the song 8x10 is from Dobson's self titled album.



8x10 is about being in love with someone who's already famous. It's not a stalkerish love but more like puppy love as Dobson sings about being with her celebrity crush.

"And I'll show you love cause we're all alone/Put business aside as life passes by/And I'll part your hair when it's in your eyes love/Dirty stained jeans with the patches on the side/Got an 8x10 for ya to sign."

The music to this song sets the mood to what the single is about. With a slow piano riff to start which becomes a good rock ballad towards the end, 8x10's melody helps the lyrics to shine through. The lyrics are straight to the point since it helps Dobson's listeners to sing along quite easily. The vocals are full of raw emotion that helps to make this song a powerful rock ballad.

This song is four out of five stars. With emotionally filled vocals, great melody and good lyrics to sing to, 8x10 does a good job being a good rock ballad.
