This was the first album with his new record company Riva Records and under the name "John Cougar."{{sfn|Rolling Stone}} Released in 1979, following the Australian success of "I Need a Lover" from the previous year's A Biography (which did not receive a U.S. release), the album included the aforementioned track for U.S. audiences, as well as a re-working of A Biography{{'}}s "Taxi Dancer." "I Need a Lover," upon the release of this album, became a Top 40 hit in the U.S., peaking at No. 28 in December 1979,{{sfn|Billboard}} after having been a No. 5 hit in Australia in 1978 when it was released as a single from A Biography.{{sfn|Songfacts}} "Miami" was also a hit single in Australia and became his second Top 40 hit in that country. "I Need a Lover" was subsequently covered by Pat Benatar on her album In the Heat of the Night. In the U.S., however, "Small Paradise" was released as a single in place of "Miami," but it was not very successful, peaking at No. 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1980.{{sfn|Billboard}} During concerts in 1979 and 1980, guitarist Mike Wanchic would trade lead vocals with Mellencamp on "Miami." Mellencamp recorded a solo acoustic rendition of "Sugar Marie" for his 2010 box set On the Rural Route 7609, stating in the set's liner notes: "'Sugar Marie' suffered from young musicians not knowing how to present the music. I've always had an affection for the song, and I've always known it had something I didn't get at on the album." Track listingAll songs written by John Mellencamp, except where noted.
