After the success of her fourth album, Get Here (1988), Russell collaborated again with a variety of different producers and songwriters. Taking more of a dance-oriented slant than her previous album, Russell worked with the famed songwriter/producer Narada Michael Walden, who co-wrote and produced two tracks for the album with her, including the title track and "Stop Running Away", both of which were released as singles.
Also included on the album is Russell's own version of "Dinner with Gershwin", a track that Russell had written years earlier and given to Donna Summer who had a hit with it in 1987 (Russell had co-produced Summer's version with Richard Perry).
