Sir Cliff Richard OBE (born Harry Rodger Webb, 14 October 1940) is a British pop singer, musician, performer, actor and philanthropist. Richard has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. He has total sales of over 21 million singles in the UK and is the third-top-selling artist in UK Singles Chart history, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
With his backing group the Shadows, Richard, originally positioned as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Little Richard and Elvis Presley, dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s and early 1960s. His 1958 hit single "Move It" is often described as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song, and John Lennon once claimed that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music." Increased focus on his Christian faith and subsequent softening of his music later led to a more middle of the road pop image, sometimes venturing into contemporary Christian music.

The album signaled a change in direction for Daily from synthpop to pop-rock. The album's lead single, "Some People," peaked at #33 on the American Dance Chart. After A&M failed to sufficiently promote the album, Daily parted ways with the label.
The album was produced by various producers, largely Lotti Golden and Tommy Faragher, both American musicians and producers. Daily wrote several songs with the pair, and would also produce two tracks herself. Another track was produced by keyboardist and producer John Van Tongeren and two tracks were produced by Glenn Skinner and Pete Glenister. Skinner is a producer of many artists including Curiosity Killed the Cat, Lighthouse Family, Boy George, and Deborah Harry. Glenister is an English musician and producer, best known for his work with Alison Moyet.
Because of the limited success of the album, Daily wouldn't release another album until 1999, which was titled Tearing Down the Walls. This album would be released under Daily's own record label.
