Background
editThe album was re released twice in 2004 under new titles 'Cherry Pie all the Hitz 'n' More and the import version Most Wanted with slightly different track lists.[2]
The album has new versions of Warrant's biggest hit singles "Heaven", which peaked at number 2 on The Billboard Hot 100, and "Cherry Pie", which peaked at #10.[3] The re-recorded "Heaven" and "Cherry Pie" were released as promo and later iTunes singles[4] and were also released on several mixed compilation albums. In 2004, Jani Lane re-recorded acoustic versions of "Cherry Pie" and "Heaven" which appeared on the "VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped" compilations.[5] [6]
"Heaven" was used in Tool Academy's series finale and was covered by the American punk band New Found Glory on the compilation album Punk Goes Metal.
