had ended. She continued to write songs while filming the third season of Hannah Montana
. She stated that the sound on the album would be different than the music heard on her debut extended play
, calling it more of a "mature" sound.
On March 24, Osment confirmed on Good Day NY that her debut album was set to be released in the Summer 2010. On June 7, 2010, Osment premiered the album's lead single
, "Let's Be Friends" on JSYK.com.

The cover art was revealed August 17, and the tracklist being revealed on August 20. When asked about the title of the album, Osment stated
The music video for "Let's Be Friends" debuted on Osment's official website on August 23, 2010. She performed the single on The Dome 55. On September 7, the album's second single, "Lovesick", debuted on JSYK.com to generally positive reviews. It was sent to radio on October 19, 2010 and the music video was released on January 14, 2011.
said of the album's composition, " In her first single, “All The Way Up,” she told us, “I like to keep my suitcase packed, cause I’m going far,” and that, she has! Emily has strayed away from her first EP, “All The Right Wrongs” indie vibe, giving her new eleven-song album a more pop-dance feel. The name "Fight or Flight" comes from, Emily’s own ambitions to fight through personal anxieties to achieve simultaneous success in two very competitive fields. The first single off of Fight or Flight, “Let’s Be Friends,” showcases Emily’s ability to make a hit pop-rock song, without sounding manufactured or over-produced. The song has been a popular hit on radio airwaves across the U.S. Other songs likely to be hit singles are "LoveSick," "Truth or Dare," and "All The Boys Want." She slows it down and shows off her vocal ability in "Marisol" and "You Get Me Through." "Right now/live out loud/gotta believe in something," she says in her call-to-action song, "Gotta Believe in Something." If you're in the mood for a high energetic, fun, feel-good song, go right to "Double Talk" or "Get Yer Yah-Yah’s Out." Her song, "1-800 Clap Your Hands (The Water Is Rising)" goes psychedelic-funk while "The Cycle" takes you back to her first EP’s alternative-pop feel.
During an interview about the album's musical content, Osment stated,
SparklingStars commented the album's dance melody, stating, "The track “Lovesick” has a great dance beat to it that will get you off your feet and moving, as well as the songs “Get Yer Yah-Yah’s Out”and “The Cycle.” You Get Me Through and Marisol are the two softer tunes on the album, however I found “You Get Me Through” to be a bit too slow. Marisol on the other hand is an amazing song and Emily’s voice sounded beautiful. The songs “Double Talk” and “Truth or Dare” had the same beat to me but they work well with the over all sound of the album; and they are the typical club songs that party goes will jam too. The two tracks I believe has the catchiest beats and lyrics are “All the Boys Want” and “Gotta Believe in Something;” they are must listens. But the outcast song is “1-800 Clap Your Hands (The Water is Rising),” I don’t really get the sound of the tune although it might fit with the album something is off with it and I would have preferred them to add another softer track instead. Overall if you’re looking for good album to play at your next house party check this one. Emily does take a risk by going into a new path with her music early on but it seem like she knows what style she wants to take on; and after all this is only the first of many records to come I’m sure of it."
with a sneer, with a sexual undercurrent that runs beneath every song and bubbles to the surface quite often." NeonReviews were less than pleased with the album, stating, "The 11-song collection is a mixture of pop, dance and techno inspired music. Although the set is clearly geared towards a teen audience, it’s questionable if even they'll buy what Emily is selling. The songs go from silly fun to down right laughable. Get Yer Yah-Yah’s Out being a prime example with its absolutely joke-worthy title. Other songs like the lead track, Lovesick, sound like leftovers from Christina Aguilera’s Bionic recording session. “Boom boom super sonic boom super sonic boom/You make my heart go (boom boom) you make my heart go,” Osment sings in the song as if she’s studied Aguilera’s latest release closely. Let’s Be Friends could be the little sister of fellow Disney alum Britney Spears’ Radar sonically. What should have been a good thing actually works against Em. The listener gets so distracted trying to figure out what Britney song the tune resembles that they can't give it a fair shot." HeavenlyReviews said of the album, "This album really demonstrates Emily Osment ability to sing. Throughout the years we have come to known Emily Osment as lovable Lilly Truscott on the hit Disney Channel show Hannah Montana which stars Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, and Mitchel Musso. But in the last two years Emily Osment has expressed interest in releasing an album and eventually released her first EP last year in 2009.
MusicReviews10 also stated a dislike for the album, commenting, "Fight or Flight opens with the delightful second single Lovesick and trods on mindlessly till the album ends before you even know it. A few tracks do try to save the album, besides the aforementioned Lovesick, there's also the album's first single Let's Be Friends which bleeps and blurps like an arcade yet has a stadium-sized monster of a chorus which soon becomes a guilty pleasure. Among all the ballads, Marisol is a cut above the rest. It manages not to be boring and forgettable like the rest of the slow numbers on the album. But there's a problem with this collection of songs - there's little to no soul. Unlike Cyrus who does seem like she means what she sings most of the time, it just sounds like Osment made an album of catchy albeit forgettable songs to milk her career further. Fight or Flight isn't horrible by any measure, and when Osment decides to give you a guilty pleasure of a track, she sure as heck will, but the problem is, will you actually remember the songs on the album the next day? Because I didn't."
