"Cradle of Love" appeared on the soundtrack of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. The song was famous for its video, which won the 1990 MTV Video Music Award for "Best video from a film". The video, directed by David Fincher, involved Betsy Lynn George as a teenager who knocks at her neighbour's door and asks to play a tape, before stripping to the music.
The album's second single is a cover version of "L.A. Woman" by The Doors. Its video was also directed by Fincher.
Charmed Life has been certified platinum by the RIAA and Silver by BPI.
