The album was named after O'Bryan's cover of the Stevie Wonder ballad. Given a more contemporary twist, the title track was the second single (peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard R&B Singles charts) and since has become one of O’Bryan’s signature songs.
The lead single, “I’m Freaky”, was an upbeat, synth-funk song that peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard R&B Singles charts. Album tracks also receiving notice and airplay were the romantic “Together Always”; the fluid instrumental “Soft Touch”; and the energetic “Soul Train’s A Comin’”, which became the theme song for the television dance show "Soul Train" from 1983 to 1987 (the original mix was only used on Soul Train for a few months before changing to a remixed version). The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart.
