Roberto Rios: I am still growing up and I remember during that period of time there was a lot going on. What many critics didn't realize is that I was reflecting on what I was feeling on many of the songs. I picked songs that truly reflected what I was trying to say. I had a lot to say in the album than what people think. It was more of a hit album than anything.
Flowers That Bleed: Was the unusual rock single off "The Secret Child" album that sparked controversy for it's mature content. Critically slammed by Linda Fea.The basic concept of the song was that all things beautiful bleed. The song peaked at #30 in the US Hot 100, but failed to chart in Canada.
The Secret Child: Served as the second and last single off "The Secret Child". The rock ballad, succeeded with mixed to positive reviews from critics. The song is about hiding away from everything, and from your youth. "Flowers That Bleed" and "The Secret Child" are the only two songs that Roberto Rios co-wrote for the album. The song peaked at #9 on the Hot 100 becoming Roberto Rio's first top ten hit in that region.
