It was the singer's last top 20 record with RCA; he would soon move to MCA and release his final #1 album, Will the Wolf Survive.
Jennings would go on to have two more #1 albums after What Goes Around Comes Around – 1980's Music Man and 1986's Will the Wolf Survive – but the modest success of What Goes Around Comes Around was a sign which suggested that the outlaw movement was in fact on the wane.
First released in 1986, it proved a greater commercial success than the singer's previous several releases, the peak of Jennings' popularity having passed.

Will the Wolf Survive, produced by Jimmy Bowen, was Jennings' last #1 album and his next-to-last top ten record, the final one being 1990's The Eagle.

Steve Earle's "The Devil's Right Hand", first performed on this album, would go on to be covered once more by Jennings, this time with The Highwaymen, on 1995's The Road Goes on Forever.
