[3] George Hawkins, who performed most of the lead vocals on Fleetwood’s first solo album The Visitor, returned to sing some lead vocals on this album, although he was also working concurrently with vocalist Al Jarreau and thus had less involvement in the making of I'm Not Me compared to The Visitor.

Instead, Fleetwood, Burnette, and producer Richard Dashut primarily handled the logistics of creating I'm Not Me.

However, this idea was scrapped and Fleetwood instead relocated to a facility known as Blue Whale to record a mixture of covers and new songs.

During one of the Zoo's performances, Stevie Nicks joined the band onstage to play Rhiannon.

A radio station heard in advance that she would be performing and leaked the information to the public.
