Just as the lead single ("You're My World") of Reddy's previous album, Ear Candy, was a cover, so was the case here. "We'll Sing in the Sunshine," a hit for Gale Garnett in 1964, was released on March 27, 1978,[4] and became Reddy's first lead single not to appear on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] It did, however, debut on Billboard's Easy Listening chart in the April 22 issue, and peaked at number 12 during its nine weeks there.[6] Of this song, Reddy writes, "For those who can't commit because they hear the call of the open road, this one is for you."[4]
"Ready or Not" had its Easy Listening chart debut as the second single from the album later that year, in the July 1 issue, and got as high as number 28 over the course of eight weeks.[6] The July 15 issue saw the start of the song's five-week run on the Hot 100, during which time it made it to number 73,[5] and in Canada's RPM magazine it reached number 70 pop.[7]
