The single was to have been included on an album titled Pawnbroker's Daughter, which was never released. It would have included seven songs that Radigan wrote, plus covers of Eric Carmen's "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" and Bruce Springsteen's "Two Faces". After leaving Asylum, Radigan wrote album tracks for Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, and Trick Pony. On May 16, 2000, she released the album Radigan through Vanguard Records.
