Lyrically, the album appears to have been heavily influenced by the painful divorce which vocalist Jani Lane endured during the record's production.
During this time, the band opened for such artists as Saigon Kick, Great White, Quiet Riot, Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Lita Ford, FireHouse, Slaughter, L.A. Guns, Bang Tango, Enuff Z'nuff and Dokken, also opening for several dates of Warrant's 'Ultraphobic' and 'Belly To Belly' tours.
