Toto IV

[10] The fourth single, "I Won't Hold You Back", also peaked within the top ten on the Hot 100, at number 10 and atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts for three weeks.

It also reached the top ten in other countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

The band was under heavy pressure from Columbia Records to deliver a hit album with their next release or be at risk of being dropped from the label.

They also utilized many outside musicians to help give the sound a more polished, fuller feel than they had on past albums.

David Hungate, who moved to Nashville during the recording of the album, left the band to spend more time with his family.

Two years later, shortly after beginning recording of their follow-up album, Bobby Kimball was fired by the band due to drug issues that were damaging his voice.
