"Oh Jackie" by Tiffany from her second album Hold an Old Friend's Hand was only released in Japan in May 1989. At the same time Yamaha launched a full-scale media campaign featuring Tiffany and this song in order to promote their new line of stereo systems, named after her (the "Tiffany System Stereo" - as marked on this single cover) which pioneered "Active Servo Technology".
Other territories received the singles "Hold an Old Friend's Hand" and "It's the Lover (Not the Love)" within a similar time period, but neither performed well due to declining popularity in the west.
