"True Devotion" is a song by English singer Samantha Fox from her eponymous second studio album (1987). It was released in December 1987 as the album's fourth single. The song was written by Lol Mason and Mark Shreeve, and produced by Steve Lovell and Steve Power.
The single includes two B-sides: the previously unreleased song "Even in the Darkest Hours" (originally recorded by Belfast punks Ruefrex) and "Fox Hunt Mix", which is a remix of Fox's previous singles "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)" and "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)". The CD single also features "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" as a B-side. It was her first single to be released on CD.

"Gimme Little Sign" is a classic soul music song, originally performed by Brenton Wood. It was released in 1967 on the album Oogum Boogum. It was written by Wood, Joe Hooven and Jerry Winn.

A megamix is a remix containing multiple songs in rapid succession. It often features various artists. There may be only one verse or even just a brief chorus of each song used, sometimes in addition to samples of the same or other songs. It is common to use different samples to maintain and sometimes even ridicule the original. To unify the songs together smoothly, a single backing beat may be added as background throughout the megamix, although this is not a must. This backing beat is kept basic so as to simplify mixing and to not compete with the music. These mixes are usually several minutes long at minimum, going up to a half-hour or an hour, or even more sometimes.
