Bridgit told AOL Music about the writing of this witty love song, which she penned with her "Ready Or Not" collaborators, Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou and Evan "Kidd" Bogart. "'Rocks in My Window' was a fun one cause they started playing this track and all of the sudden to me it was like sort of an '80s movie where there's a teenager sitting in her room with the high ponytail, flipping through a magazine, just thinking about the boy, and she has this fantasy that he'll throw rocks at her window and he'll do the whole epic 'I want to be with you.'"

Bridgit added: "I like that one because it's such a bubblegum fantasy story. Teen spirit too, it's very much teen to me, that song. It's like so young and free and fun."
