The first single "Nothin' But a Good Time" was born from the merger of a guitar riff by [[C. C. DeVille]] and a chorus by Michaels. Michaels later explained that he was in search of a "kick ass big arena rock song" which would make him feel good about his life. The song was about "not wanting to be held back by working a job and being depressed", as portrayed in its music video.

The fourth single, "Your Mama Don't Dance", was a cover version of the 1972 song written by Loggins and Messina from their 1972 [[Loggins and Messina (album)|self-titled album]], which was recently covered by hard rock band [[Y&T]] on their album [[Down for the Count]].
