After the success of the No More the Fool album, Brooks' new record company was keen to release a follow-up and tracks were chosen during 1987.

[1] Carrying on regardless, a list of tracks was agreed upon and included covers of "Stairway to Heaven" and Juice Newton's US hit, "Can't Wait All Night".

Yuro was given a copy of the album and personally telephoned Brooks to congratulate her, saying that it was the best version of the song she'd ever heard.

[1] Prior to release, Brooks was told that the album (unlike the previous one) was going to receive no promotion, something which she says is "not the kind of news any artist ever wants to hear [but] sadly, I've heard it all too often".

The CD and cassette versions of the album contained bonus tracks, "Only Love Will Set You Free" and "I Can Dream Can't I?".
