About the album, Cherie Currie said:
“I’ve never had so much fun making a record before. We all looked at each other and went, ‘Oh, my God, there’s magic happening here.’”
Matt Sorum also talked about the album:
“Cherie’s voice tells it all, she is the real deal. And now more than ever that voice tells the story of where’s she’s been in her life. This record is about who Cherie Currie is now. We’ve waited a long time to hear this icon of rock ’n’ roll do what she does best. I’m very proud to be a part of this album by one of the best female singers of all time.”
