Content
Seven of the album's songs are the original recordings of songs from Davis's older albums. Chronologically, these songs are "Three Way Tie" (from In a Different Light, 1991); "Company Time," "Love Didn't Do It," and "In Pictures" (from Shoot for the Moon, 1994); "Some Things Are Meant to Be," "A Love Story in the Making," and "What Do I Know" (from Some Things Are Meant to Be, 1996). All of these were singles for Davis, except for "In Pictures" and "What Do I Know", which were both singles for other artists: the former by Alabama from its 1995 album of the same name, and the latter by Ricochet from its 1996 self-titled debut. "I Wanna Remember This" was included on the soundtrack to the 1998 film Black Dog and "Make It Through", a duet with Randy Travis, was included on the soundtrack to the 1998 film The Prince of Egypt.
Of the five new tracks, two charted on the Billboard country charts between late 1998 and early 1999. The first to do so was the title track at number 38 and "From the Inside Out" at number 60.
