Three singles were issued from the album, "Woman," "Kootchi," and "Feel It."
Preceding the album release, a duet with Youssou N'Dour called "7 Seconds" was released as a single to promote Senegalese singer studio set The Guide.[4] Almost two years later, the common track was added also to the Cherry's album.
The album includes two cover songs: "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye, which was included in the 1995 compilation Inner City Blues: The Music of Marvin Gaye; and "Golden Ring," a song by the band American Gypsy.
