"Ready, Willing, and Able" was previously cut by Daron Norwood on his 1995 album of the same name.
The "Wild at Heart" music video was controversial. Said video was withdrawn from CMT and The Nashville Network after only a month due to protests from mental health organizations. The video featured White as a patient in a psychiatric hospital, encouraging the other patients to dance.
