What I Deserve was the first album in almost six years by Kelly Willis. She had recorded three previous efforts with her old label, MCA, which, although critically acclaimed, did not achieve much in sales. With the long lapse of time came a new style for Willis. Gone were the up-tempo rockabilly two-steppers, to be replaced by slower, less "catchy" ballads. The album was her highest on the Billboard country charts at #30, although it produced no charting singles. Two of the tracks were written by Willis's husband Bruce Robison.
