Finally Out of P.E. is the debut and only album of American singer and actress Brie Larson, released on October 18, 2005, by Casablanca.[2] The album features 13 tracks, some of which were co-written by Larson, and focuses on the ups and down of being a teenager.[3]
In an interview, Larson stated, "I think that I write about stuff that others don't write about. I don't have a bunch of love songs cause I don't really have much boy experience. I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life. That's where the title from my album comes from - Finally out of P.E. My P.E. teacher didn't like me at all, which was hard to deal with cause I was usually such a teachers' pet. So when I found out I got my record deal, I was like, 'Yes, I'm finally out of P.E.""[4]
Commercial performance
Due to many delays in release dates, the album was expected to be released in the fall 2004,[5] However, the album was later released on October 18, 2005.[6] The album only sold a total of 4,000 copies in the United States.[7]
