The album contains two singles which made the U.S.
Hot R&B charts: "
It's a Love Thing", which peaked at number two in early
1981; and "I Can Make it Better". Both singles were produced by SOLAR Records' main in-house producer
Leon F. Sylvers III. Also featured in the album is "Up on Soul Train", the theme song used on the
syndicated television series Soul Train from
1980 to 1983; it was composed by the creator, producer, and host of Soul Train,
Don Cornelius.
The music video to the single "It's a Love Thing" is notable for having an early appearance from then-unknown actress

L'Oreal commercial for Preference Mousse Absolue.
