Tears on My Pillow was Johnny Tillotson's first album in two years, released by Amos Records. The arrangements were by Clark Gassman, Ernie Freeman and Glen D. Hardin.

The title track, a cover version of Little Anthony and the Imperials' 1958 doo-wop hit, was released as a single the same year of the album's release; neither the single nor the album charted. The album is mainly a collection of covers, including versions of Merle Haggard's "Today I Started Loving You Again," Carole King & Gerry Goffin's "Hey Girl," Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)," and Buddy Holly's "Raining in My Heart."
