Three singles were released from the album. All three charted in the Top 30 of the charts. "Trying to Find Atlantis" reached number 18, "Somebody's Hero" reached number 3, and "I Love My Life" reached number 26. After this album, O'Neal released a single titled "God Don't Make Mistakes" in 2007. This single failed to reach Top 40, however, and O'Neal exited Capitol as well.

All but two tracks on this album were produced by Keith Stegall, who also produced O'Neal's debut album. "Devil on the Left" and "Girlfriends" were co-produced by O'Neal and Rivers Rutherford.
