Lonely Days, Lonely Nights

Lonely Days, Lonely Nights was the first single from the album recorded at MCA/Nashville in the fall of 1985. It was one of a five-song singles record contract she had at the time with the label, prior to her receiving an album contract.

This was the first song that Porter Wagonner listened to when Lovelss sang in his office for him in early 1971 when she first went to Nashville. She wrote the song and dedicated it to her father. He would love to listen to his daughter sing it for him.

Included as that song's B-side was "Country, I'm Coming Home To You", written by a Loveless in 1974 at age 17. The song was one of her favorites, and when she returned to Nashville in 1985, she recorded this as the "B" side on her first single. It was never included on any of Loveless' albums.

The song charted for 8 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #46 during the week of 1/25/1986.

Wicked Ways was recorded at MCA/Nashville in the fall of 1986, with the single being released in October 1986. It was the second single released from the album.

The song charted for 4 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #49 during the week of 10 January 1987.

I Did

"I Did" was the song played by Loveless' brother, Roger Ramey, to Tony Brown at MCA in 1985. After hearing the recording, Brown signed Loveless to MCA. The song was first released to radio stations on Valentine's Day, 1986 with a special red vinyl version. It garnered a significant amount of airplay. With this, Loveless was signed to a multi-album contract. However, it was withdrawn by MCA as it was believed that it was drawing attention away from other country artists signed to the label at the time; however, it was re-released a month later.

It was re-released in March, 1987 and charted for 5 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #56 during the week of 11 April 1987.

After All

After All was recorded at MCA/Nashville in early 1986, with the single being released in October 1986. It was the fourth single released from the album.

"USA Today" called "After All" Loveless' signature song. Memorex had also planned to use "After All" in one of their "Is it live or Memorex?" commercials, but did not.Fact|date=April 2008

Loveless' powerful voice during the chorus of this song is just masterful. It's heartwrenching to hear the anguish in her voice as she asks her newly divorced lover why, after all that she has done to stand by him, he doesn't call her now that he can.

The song charted for 4 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #43 during the week of 8 June 1987.
