History

Love Tracks includes her million-selling #1 hit single "I Will Survive" which originally started out as the b-side to the album's first single, a cover of Clout's "Substitute" before it was flipped. (The 12" single was quickly deleted and the 4:26 album version was replaced with the 8:01 12" version in order to sell more albums).

The song "Anybody Wanna Party" also became a hit, becoming a top 20 hit on the club/dance chart, as well as peaking at #16 on the R&B chart.

The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2013 by Big Break Records.
