With this album, 38 Special incorporates some arena rock elements into its sound.
The title track, written by three members of Survivor, became the band's first big hit (peaking at #43 during a nine-week run on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart),[2] and marked the first of many songs Jim Peterik would write for and with the band.
"Money Honey" is a cover of a 1953 song by Clyde McPhatter and The Drifters.
