Shortly after the release of David Cassidy, Enigma Records would go bust, leaving David Cassidy to once again change record labels.

1990 Tour

David Cassidy performed a series of concerts in 1990 to support the album; his warm-up act was a stand-up comedy routine by Danny Bonaduce, his old Partridge Family co-star. Bonaduce credits David Cassidy for helping him out of one (of his many) dark times by inviting him on the tour.

Promotional videos

A music video was produced and released for the single "Lyin' to Myself". The video features David waiting in the terminal of New York's Grand Central Station.
