Released a year after the runaway success of "Sweet Like Chocolate", the follow-up single "Sing-A-Long" failed to meet popular expectation, reaching No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart. At the time, many ascribed this to the poor timing of the album. The majority of the female vocals for the album were provided by Terri Walker.
