This was Mandrell's second album released in 1977. The previous album released two singles, one of which was a Top 5 hit. This album also released two singles. Both singles became Top 10 hits on the Billboard Country charts, the first time Mandrell had two solo Top 10 hits in a row. The first single, "Woman to Woman" peaked in the Top 5 and was a major hit that year. The song also marked the first time one of Mandrell's singles peaked inside the Billboard Hot 100, only peaking at #92. It also was the first time one of Mandrell's songs reached the Adult Contemporary charts, but again, it wasn't a major hit, only reaching the Top 50. The second single, "Tonight" was another Top 5 hit but did not chart on the Hot 100 or Adult Contemporary charts. The album as a whole was not a major success, only peaking at #29 on the Top Country Albums chart.

The album included cover versions of some songs, including a remake of Rita Coolidge's Pop hit from that year, "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher" and "How Long," originally recorded by Ace. "Woman to Woman" was a cover of Shirley Brown's #1 R&B hit from 1974. The album consisted of 10 tracks, some of which were new songs.
