Although "Lullaby" failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it became a top 30 dance club hit. The song peaked at no. 27 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and spent seven weeks on the chart. The track, over time, has become a signature song in the band's catalogue.

The band utilized an string section of 20 Juilliard students, conducted by Michelle DiBucci, to record strings for the track, as well as bagpipes, played by a kilt wearing Roger Parsons. For the 12" single, the track was remixed into five different remixes by Justin Strauss. The band, along with recording engineer "Doc" Dougherty, also remixed the track; titled "Lullaby (7” Version)", this remix was included on the 7-inch and cassette singles sold at retail outlets as well as the promotional CD single.

The cover art of the 12" vinyl and cassette are drawings done by lead vocalist Susan Ottaviano. The drawings are in a similar style to Amedeo Modigliani, the subject of one of their previous singles, titled "Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)".
