The success of The Beloved's previous album pushed the group to first follow it up with a brand-new song, called "It's Alright Now," which failed to make the UK top 40, peaking at number 48,[5] but helped promote the new remix album, mostly being an expanded remodelled version of Happiness, as the title itself suggested.

Blissed Out was also promoted by a related remix EP, featuring a medley of selected remixes from the album, and particularly by a promo of "Up, Up and Away", the one remaining song from Happiness that the label originally intended to release as a further single, before opting for a re-release of "Your Love Takes Me Higher".

The latter includes a sample taken from the Hyperion Records recording of "O Euchari" as sung by Emily Van Evera, which was only credited here for the first time, and only on the cassette version, but not on any of the original formats then marketed for the Happiness album, which contained the single version of "The Sun Rising."

"It's Alright Now" and the Blissed Out album were the last works made by Jon Marsh with original band member Steve Waddington at the time.

By 1991, Waddington left the group and was replaced by Jon's wife, Helena, for The Beloved's next album, Conscience.
