Background edit
The album was re released twice in 2004 under new titles 'Cherry Pie all the Hitz 'n' More and the import version Most Wanted with slightly different track lists.[2]
The album has new versions of Warrant's biggest hit singles "Heaven", which peaked at number 2 on The Billboard Hot 100, and "Cherry Pie", which peaked at #10.[3] The re-recorded "Heaven" and "Cherry Pie" were released as promo and later iTunes singles[4] and were also released on several mixed compilation albums. In 2004, Jani Lane re-recorded acoustic versions of "Cherry Pie" and "Heaven" which appeared on the "VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped" compilations.[5] [6]
"Heaven" was used in Tool Academy's series finale and was covered by the American punk band New Found Glory on the compilation album Punk Goes Metal.
