After providing background vocals on Quiet Riot's 1983 album, Metal Health, Knight was signed by Vanity Records in 1984.

[1] Almost all tracks were written and produced by Frank Wildhorn, who would go on to become known for the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde, of which Knight appeared on the original demo for.

The album was also produced by Karl Richardson (The Bee Gees, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand) and JD Nicholas (of the Commodores), who performed alongside Knight on the track "Celebrate Love".

The opening track, "Out of Control", was released as the album's sole single on August 20, 1987,[2] with an accompanying music video filmed.

In order to promote the album, Knight made a series of mall appearances and also performed at such venues as Madame Wong's West and The Palace.
