The disc was originally issued on Virgin Nashville in 2000, minus the tracks "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" and "Are You Ever Gonna Love Me." After Virgin shut down its country division and Cagle moved to sister company Capitol Nashville in 2001, the album was re-issued with these additional tracks and new album art.[2] The newly added tracks were produced by Chris Lindsey.
