The title of "Four in the Morning (I Can't Take Any More)" describes the time of day Jack Blades wrote the song. In an interview with the Songfacts website, he explained, "Literally, I wrote that song at 4 in the morning. I mean, I woke up, and I had an idea, (singing) 'I can't take anymore, I can't fake anymore, it's such a hard time loving you.'"[9]

"Interstate Love Affair" also appeared on the soundtrack to the motion picture "Teachers".
