The album features eight new tracks including its four singles, as well as a solo version of the first single "Nothing to Lose" and remixed versions of "Driven" featuring the hot guitar work of Mike Himmel, and "Go That Far", which was the theme song to Michaels' Rock of Love series. The original version of "Go That Far" was a single on his last album release, the compilation, Rock My World, in 2008. The original version of Driven was also on Rock My World. The remixed version of Driven with Mike Himmel on guitar, was a digital only single in 2008 after the release of Rock My World.

The first track on the album, also a new song titled "Riding Against the Wind" is the theme song to the new Bret Michaels reality Docu-series Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, the new series which is a follow up to the Rock of Love series will premiere in Fall 2010, following the album's release.[7] Despite the song not being released as a single a music video was produced for "Riding Against the Wind" containing footage from Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, which officially premieres on VH1 on Oct. 18, 2010. The music video was released on October 7, 2010 exclusively at Billboard's.[8]

Also included in the album are four bonus previously released tracks including the country music version of Poison's Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" originally included on his country rock album Freedom of Sound.

The digital version of the album features two extra bonus tracks which are the explicit versions of "Lie to Me" and "What I Got".[9]
