Sobre el álbum
El undécimo álbum de estudio, titulado simplemente 11, marca un regreso a un sonido de rock más básico y directo, después de varios proyectos diferentes. El disco fue promocionado con una gira acústica que también influyó en su sonido más despojado. Adams buscaba crear una colección de canciones sencillas y honestas, sin grandes artificios de producción.
El álbum fue de nuevo un gran éxito en Europa y Canadá. El single "I Thought I'd Seen Everything" es un buen ejemplo del sonido del disco: un rock de medio tiempo con una melodía memorable y una letra reflexiva. El disco también explora temas más personales e introspectivos, reflejando una etapa más madura en la vida del artista.
Grabado en su mayoría en habitaciones de hotel, al igual que Room Service, el álbum tiene una sensación íntima y personal. La biografía de Bryan Adams continúa con un trabajo sólido que, aunque no busca reinventar su sonido, ofrece una colección de canciones de alta calidad que encantó a sus seguidores.

- Tonight We Have the Stars4:06
Letra
We'll save ourselves a bottle Of California red We'll drink it on a tuesday Let it go straight to our heads And we'll eat from good China And make love on linen sheets Just like there's no tomorrow No surrender, no retreat I can feel it in my bones And I know it in my heart Tomorrow may be rainin' But tonight we have the stars We may always be together Or miles and miles apart Tomorrow may be rainin' But tonight we have the stars We were young And we were foolish We were easy to deceive Said we'd be in love forever And it was easy to believe Well you and I We had our moments Our devils and our doubts But the time we spend together We gotta make it count Sso let's hold on to this moment Cause it's all we've really got - I Thought I'd Seen Everything5:06

Letra
You always say the things I can believe in Always say the things I wanna hear I believe them all - the stories short and tall I believe you, ya I believe you You give me love When love is all I need to live You gave your word, when words were just superlative When I was blind, you came and opened up my eyes Now I feel I can believe in anything You taught me how to fly on broken wings You always do the things I can depend on You're always there every night and day Everytime I've fallen down - you've always been around To lift me up again To set me straight again Sometimes I find myself on my own And can't find the road that leads me back home But you made believe I can do anything Even fly on broken wings - Somethin' to Believe In4:00
- Mysterious Ways4:28
Letra
Just when I thought I had it figured out Just when I thought I had the answers You came along So full of promises Full of grace And second chances For awhile I tried To shut it out For awhile I tried to fight it But now I see that there Just ain't no use There ain't no reason To deny it Oh, ya, just never know No you don't The world Is full of mysteries Full of magic and of wonder There's so much more Than what we see Can't explain the spell I'm under Everytime I look Upon your face I'm constantly amazed And love moves Through my days In mysterious ways They say the heart Is shaped just like a fist Holding in its feelings I say the heart Is like an open hand Holding out and healing Oh, wherever you go Don't ya know - She's Got a Way4:41
- Flower Grown Wild3:53
Letra
She was the girl In the very front row Always waitin' After the show She was the queen Of the hollywood hills Knew the stars, the bars The pimps and pills Somebody's climbin' on A greyhound tonight Too much lipstick And her dress real tight Looks like a woman But she ain't quite No, not quite She's somebody's baby She's somebody's Mother's child She may look like a lady But she's just A flower grown wild They never knew you By your childhood name But they were drawn to you Like moths to a flame Nobody saw the tears In your silk n' lace Or the scarred little kid Behind your face Just remember When you hold her tight What you're holding In your arms tonight She's no angel But that's alright Ya, that's alright She's somebody's baby She's somebody's Mother's child She may look like a lady But she's just A flower grown wild Just another Little pretty thing Another angel With a broken wing Who fell to earth 'Neath the Hollywood hills Amid the stars and the bars The pimps and pills Just like the girl On the movie screen She played it up Until the very last scene The picture faded And the day was done Went home to nothin' But a loaded gun Somebody's climbing On a greyhound tonight A little angel Flyin' out of sight Looks like a woman But she ain't quite No, not quite - Walk on By2:54
Letra
I heard that you're leavin This sleepy little town The bright lights Must have caught your eye Cuz' you Ain't hangin' round Ya know people been talkin' They say You're makin' a mistake Gotta get on That greyhound And forget about What they say Just walk on by Walk on by Don't look Over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by I've heard bad things About the city And I'm told That they're true Better watch out For those guys out there They're gonna hit on you So don't talk To no strangers No it ain't your style Don't give up When the chips are down Just turn around And smile Just walk on by Walk on by Don't look Over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by Ya walk on You're old enough To know why You're old enough To know why Now you're standing At the station Got a ticket in your hand Guess you got You're mind made up Gotta get out while you can Don't say I never told ya Now the rest is up to you Those streets can be Like a battlefield When it's hard To make it thru Just walk on by Walk on by Don't look Over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by Walk on by Walk on by You're A little bit lonely You're A little bit shy Just walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Don't look Over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by Walk on by Walk on by You're A little bit lonely You're A little bit shy Just walk on by
