Finally Out Of P.E. (also known as "FOOPE") is the debut album on Casablanca Records/Universal Records from Brie Larson, an American singer and actress. She also plays guitar and recently picked up the piano while recording Finally Out Of P.E.

The album features 13 tracks (plus a digital download bonus track, called "Go Your Own Way"), most of then were written by Brie, and focuses on the ups and down of being a teenager.

In a Kidzworld interview, she said - "I think that I write about stuff that others don't write about. I don't have a bunch of love songs cuz 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 cuz 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.'"

Due to many delays in release dates (the album was expected to be released in the fall 2004, but just shipped in the fall of 2005, after more than 6 release date changes) and low spreading, the album selled 5,500 copies in the United States.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • The digital download version of the CD have one additional bonus track, called "Go Your Own Way". The song features in the original album tracklist, but was later replaced by "Hope Has Wings".
  • "Invisible Girl", which Brie wrote at age 12, is the song that convinced record executive Tommy Mottola to sign Brie to Casablanca Records without seeing what she looked like at the age of 13. The song is about not being noticed and overlooked.
  • All the tracks were recorded in 2004, except "Life After You", recorded in 2005.
  • The lead single, "She Said", is also featured in Disney Channel's original movie Go Figure.
  • "Hope Has Wings" is the end credit track in the movie "Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus". The song's music video appears as a bonus feature on the movie's DVD.
  • "Whatever" was intended to be Brie's second single, but was canceled and replaced by "Life After You". However, the song was released to Radio Disney.
  • Two other songs were intended to be singles, "Shoebox" and "Falling Into History" (due to the her official site's media player, with the singles from the album). Was expected a video to "Falling Into History" in the spring 2006, but the two singles were canceled.
  • Some of the tracks were published by Breezeway Publishing, established by her own self.
