The album's title track, "Keep It Comin'", was Sweat's fourth single to top the R&B chart. Two more singles "I Want To Love You Down" and "Why Me Baby" were Top 20 R&B hits. It features the album cut "There You Go (Tellin' Me No Again)", originally on the New Jack City soundtrack months earlier. On February 21, 1992, Keep It Comin' was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, for shipments of one million copies in the United States.[4] This was the last album where Sweat collaborated with the longtime new jack swing producer Teddy Riley until Just Me was released 16 years later.
