The album contained two tracks with writing input by Prince, Qualified (co-written by Kirk Johnson) and a new version of Sex (co-written by Levi Seacer, Jr.), which had previously been released by Prince on The Scandalous Sex Suite EP. Both songs feature Prince as a musician also. In addition, Prince appears, uncredited, as a musican on the tracks I Oh I and Crying, and for the 1993 USA re-release, he provided a remix of I Wanna Be (a track from their previous album Fortune Fairytales).

The album produced two singles, Qualified and Sex but failed to chart in the USA. It reached number 13 on their home country album chart, however.

Prince met the band Loïs Lane when they opened for some shows on the Nude Tour, and they later asked him to contribute songs to their next album. Prince obliged, and some of the album's tracks were recorded by Kirk Johnson at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA, in early 1992. |tracklisting = Details given for Prince-related tracks only
