The album was produced by British record producing trio Stock Aitken Waterman in 1984 to 1985, after Princess became acquainted with them as a backing singer for Brilliant. The album featured mainly pop and dance-pop music, but featured influences from rock, soul and reggae music. All of the tracks were written by S.A.W. aside from "Just a Teaze" which was written by Princess and her brother and manager Donovan; who went uncredited.
The album produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, and it peaked at No. 15 on the UK Albums Chart and at No. 81 in Australia. It was certified Silver in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
The album spawned five singles; four of which reached the UK Top 40; "Say I'm Your Number One", (#7), "After the Love Has Gone" (#28), "I'll Keep on Loving You" (#16) and "Tell Me Tomorrow" (#34). These singles all had music videos, and are Princess' only Top 40 entries.
The fourth single, "Tell Me Tomorrow" had been tied to the soundtrack of Knights & Emeralds , and did not end up making its' money back. Therefore, the final single, "In the Heat of a Passionate Moment" had minimal marketing and only reached #74. Princess had had minimal input into the song's remixes and production, and as a result she left S.A.W. and Supreme in November 1986 following tensions. She then signed onto Polydor for her sophomore album.
