The Grammy nominated and lead single, "All Fired Up" (written by Kerryn Tolhurst, ex-The Dingoes) reached #19 in both the US and the UK, and was a #2 smash in Australia, becoming one of the biggest hits of 1988 in that country. Other singles released from the LP are "Don't Walk Away" (UK #42), the Grammy nominated "Let's Stay Together", and "One Love" (UK #59). The album also earned an RIAA gold certification and was her eighth consecutive platinum certified album in Canada, where it peaked at 11 on the albums chart.

Livin' with my eyes closed Goin' day to day I never knew the difference I never cared either way Lookin' for a reason Searchin' for a sign Reachin' out with both hands I gotta feel the kick inside All fired up (now I believe there comes a time) All fired up (when everything just falls in line) All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes) All fired up, fired up, fired up Hey! Ain't nobody livin' In a perfect world Everybody's out there Cryin' to be heard Now I got a new fire Burnin' in my eyes Lightin' up the darkness Movin' like a meteorite All fired up (now I believe there comes a time) All fired up (when everything just falls in line) All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes) All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith) Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live and learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live and learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live and learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live and learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe All fired up (now I believe there comes a time) All fired up (when everything just falls in line) All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes) All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith) All fired up, now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live and learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith
