"Come Cryin' to Me" and "Say When" were both co-written by John Rich, who also sang lead on "John Doe on a John Deere" and "What Do We Do with the Rest of the Night". All the other tracks feature Richie McDonald on lead vocals. This was Lonestar's last album to have a neotraditional country sound before developing a more crossover-friendly country-pop sound. This was also Rich's last album as a member of the group. After departing the group in 1998, he began a solo career on BNA, and eventually joined Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich.
"Cheater's Road" was later recorded by Chalee Tennison on her 2003 album Parading in the Rain.
