The album spawned the hit title track, which became her second #1 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and helped the album peak at #5 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. It's the first album by Ross after the multi-platinum soundtrack to Ross' acclaimed film debut in Lady Sings the Blues. It also includes the first tracks Diana would personally produce on one of her albums, "Imagine" and "Medley: Brown Baby/Save the Children". Several cuts here, including the closing Medley and "My Baby (My Baby, My Own)" were originally intended for the abandoned To the Baby album Diana also worked on in this period.
