This album probably sprouted during CDL planning and she has been writing and recording since then up to sometime in April I believe which might be one of her longest production times since MY STORY not counting singles of course.
Back during the TIME Asia interview she stated that even given a month she does it, I think it was about composing, in the last three days. Going by that "I am..." may be her most "rushed" album. But look at how loved it is.
That is what throws me of with these "rushed" statements. Because your favourite album may be the "rushed" one. Those statements only started appearing when we knew that she shot three PVs in three days, when we knew that a mini album became a full album etc.
She also seems to do a lot of last minute changes, like adding or cutting songs, changing arrangements, perhaps even rewriting lyrics.
