The second single, "Never Get Enough of You", followed in early-1989. This was also released as a 12-inch single, featuring an extended version of the track as well as a radio remix, but it failed to chart. In some international countries, the album includes a version of "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You"; the original single version of the song, which had become a big hit in various European countries in 1988.
