The second video featured Dax Shepard and Jennifer Morrison living in a trailer outside of Lachey's real-life home.
"This I Swear" reached #11 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. Despite being heavily promoted, the single became Lachey's second single to not chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album was expected to be successful because the album was released during the popularity of Lachey's television show, Newlyweds . However, despite being heavily promoted, the album debuted at #51 on the Billboard 200, selling only 28,000 copies in its first week. The album was considered a commercial failure, both in terms of sales and chart performance; the album sold 171,000 copies in the United States and stayed on the Billboard 200 for just 11 weeks.
