This is his last studio album during his tenure with Capitol Records. The album includes appearances by then Journey singer Steve Perry and the Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Song information- "Love Or Money" was a favorite of John Kalodner, which helped serve as a catalyst in getting Hagar signed to the then new Geffen Records. [1]
- The track "In The Night (Entering The Danger Zone)" was inspired by the film Lucifer Rising. [1]
- "Heartbeat" is the second track on which Hagar shares a writing credit with his then-wife, Betsy. The first was "Wounded In Love" on the Street Machine album.
- "Run For Your Life" is a cover of a song from the band Runner's first (and only) album, Runner. This version has the former Journey singer Steve Perry on back-up vocals. It was (co-)produced by Boston's Tom Scholz, who had originally been signed to produce the entire album but was ordered by his own record label to pull out.
