The self-produced album became the follow-up to Shaggy's career-making album Boombastic; however, it did not fare as well. The album features covers of Erma Franklin 's " Piece of My Heart ", and Bob Marley 's "Thank You Lord", which features guest vocals from Ky-Mani Marley . 50,000 copies of the album were sold in the UK.
