Dennis experienced a brief peak of fame, making a cameo in Beverly Hills, 90210 singing the song "Moments of Love" (a minor US Adult Contemporary chart hit), "Why" (in the episode, without D Mob) and "Touch Me (All Night Long)", a single from her previous album, Move to This. The Japanese edition of Into the Skyline had a second release, which was called Into the Skyline +1, and featured three extra tracks: "Nothing Moves Me", a previous B-side, and "It's My Style" were released as singles.
