Content
The album consists of fifteen songs, all of which Alaina co-wrote. Two singles, "Getting Good" and the Jon Pardi duet "Getting Over Him", were released prior to the album. Both of these appeared on extended plays prior to the album's release; on Sitting Pretty on Top of the World, "Getting Good" was remixed as a duet with Trisha Yearwood. Paul DiGiovanni and David Garcia produced the album.[2]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five, stating that "as a collection of individual tracks, Sitting Pretty on Top of the World hits its target squarely in the middle of the road: it's adult contemporary country where Alaina feels equally at home on the light pop tunes and melodramatic showstoppers."[3]
