The album was released in response to popular demand, following Vinton's million-selling single "My Melody of Love", his first single in two years, which proved a successful comeback and earned Vinton the nickname "the Polish Prince".

After the song became a #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and a #1 adult contemporary hit, the semi-eponymous album was released, reaching #16 on the Billboard Hot 200 list of popular albums and going gold.

Cover versions include Olivia Newton-John's hit "I Honestly Love You", Alice Faye's "You'll Never Know" and Al Martino's "Here in My Heart".

The fifth track, "Am I Losing You", is a reworking of the Italian song "Io ti darò di più" with a few English lyrics replacing some of the Italian lyrics.
