In addition to several of Raven's previous hit singles, the album contains three new tracks. These are "I'm Gonna Get You", "Joe Knows How to Live", and "'Til You Cry". All three were released as singles in 1988. The former two reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, while the latter peaked at number four. "I'm Gonna Get You" was previously a charted single for Billy Swan in 1987, while "Joe Knows How to Live" was previously cut by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their album Hold On. Session keyboardist Barry Beckett produced these three songs. Prior to the recording, Beckett had contacted Raven and asked to produce songs for him. While Beckett had played keyboard on Raven's earlier albums, Raven said he was unaware at the time that Beckett also worked as a producer, and agreed to let him produce after discovering other songs he liked on which Beckett was a producer.
