Selena explained that "Disappear" is a romantic song. It's about a girl who likes a boy and hopes he won't leave. She also said "Magical" is about casting a spell on someone. The song "Magic" is directly connected to Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.
Interestingly, a song called "Make It Happen" was recorded for an episode. However, it didn't end up on the album, and no one knows why.
