When Parton joined The Porter Wagoner Show in September 1967 she was still signed to Monument Records.

Recording sessions for the album took place on December 11, 18 and 20, 1967, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee.

The title song, in which a woman admonishes her boyfriend for passing judgment on her previous sexual encounters even though he is guilty of the same behavior, was regarded as something of a daring statement to make at the time.

"The Bridge", distinctive because of its subject matter and rather abrupt ending, details the story of a woman who falls in love with a man and becomes pregnant with his child.

The album's only single, "Just Because I'm a Woman", was released in May 1968[1] and debuted at number 46 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated June 29.

The songs include "You're Gonna Be Sorry", "False Eyelashes", "Try Being Lonely", and some more earthy, realistic tunes.
