Although a single from this album was not released at the time, "Christmas In My Heart" would appear on the B-side of their single, "Anytime", two years later in 1988. Noted tracks include "Somewhere Out There" from the animated film An American Tail (1986) which was also recorded and released by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram at the same time to become a hit for the duo a few months later in 1987. Rupert Holmes penned "Christmas In My Heart" and would soon work with The Jets again with "You Got It All" as well as the previously mentioned "Anytime".
