Lives in the Balance was the first album by Browne where overtly political and socially critical songs dominated (three of which were about president Ronald Reagan), although it also included one of his best remembered songs about relationships, the tragic "In the Shape of a Heart", inspired by his relationship with his first wife.
"Love in the Shape of a Heart" was penned by lyricist Vincent Fang and composed by Nan Quan Mama member Yu Hao while "The Finale" was penned by Mayday lead singer Ashin.
The radio play garnered by "For America" and "In the Shape of a Heart", and the use of "Lives in the Balance" in the show Miami Vice, gained him many new fans who later went back and discovered Browne's earlier works.
