Three singles charted from the album: a cover of Brenda Lee's 1965 single "Too Many Rivers",[1] followed by the title track and "Lyin' in His Arms Again". Of these, "You Again" achieved the number one position on Hot Country Songs in 1987, while the other two both peaked at number five on the same.[2]

"Sooner or Later" was later covered by Eddy Raven, who released it in 1990 as a single from his album Temporary Sanity. As with the Forester Sisters' version, Raven's was also produced by Barry Beckett.[3]
