The album title, The World From the Side of the Moon, come from the lyrics of the first song on the album, "Man on the Moon." Phillips described it as the experience of watching himself in a DVD of the whole Idol season someone gave him, "so I was kind of watching myself from a whole different world that no one else really knows. It’s interesting to see how it happened and so fast. That's how I picked the title: I felt like I watched myself grow and this whole album is representing where I am.

Phillip said that while the song and its writers are "really good", "it's not really something I would write". He also revealed that he had wanted to use a song he co-wrote with his brother-in-law, "Drive Me," as the coronation song. In interviews after the finale, he said, "The song that I did tonight that supposedly is my single, it's not really my single, I told them it's not my single." He also said, "I have my own stories to tell," and added "but I couldn’t do my song [on the finale]; we just didn’t have enough time." Philip stated that he writes songs in the "jazz and rock alternative sound; not really rock-rock." Later he said he was "starting to grow a connection" with the song, and that "I kind of sing it like me, and on the guitar I do some different strummings on some parts, so it's coming along." Despite his criticism, this song has become a US smash, selling over 4 million copies in under a year, and passing Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" as the single with the most downloads by an American Idol contestant.

That along with Hold On and Can't Go Wrong. One of those should be a single
