"Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" was the first single from the album. An uncredited review in Cashbox "a boot-tapper that shows off her strong voice and rhythmic phrasing."[2]

According to Loveless, MCA executives had originally held off on releasing the album due to the poor performance of its singles. However, she told these executives that "I Did" was popular with fans in spite of its low chart peak.[3]
