The album features two cover songs, "Back on the Streets", written by former Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent with country artist Richard Kinky Friedman and originally recorded by the band 3-Speed for a 1984 movie soundtrack, and "Wild One" by Thin Lizzy.
The album´s producer Thomas Witt is/was Norum´s stepfather, a former drummer for Eddie Meduza and a high-ranking manager at CBS/Sony in Sweden at the time.
Total Control is dedicated to Tommy Östervik, one of John's friends and heroes, who died in a drowning accident the same night as Europe played a concert that later was broadcast on Swedish television.
