Love Can Do That is the nearest Paige's recordings have come to contemporary pop, featuring a number of ballads that were previously recorded by artists such as Barbra Streisand's "Heart Don't Change My Mind" and Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors". Other songs on the album include "Same Train", a duet with Christopher Cross, and "Only the Very Best", from the concept musical Tycoon, for which Tim Rice wrote the English lyrics. The song was originally performed in French in the musical Starmania.
