The album produced four singles for Paisley. First was "Celebrity", which peaked at #3 on the country charts. Following it were the #2 "Little Moments", and then the #3 "Whiskey Lullaby" in 2004. This latter song, a duet with Alison Krauss, was her first Top 40 country hit since her guest vocal on Kenny Rogers' Number One hit "Buy Me a Rose" in 2000. "Whiskey Lullaby" was later covered by Jon Randall on his 2005 album Walking Among the Living. The title track was the fourth and final release from this album. In February 2005, this song became Paisley's fourth Number One hit.
"Is It Raining at Your House" is a cover of a song originally recorded by Vern Gosdin on his 1990 album 10 Years of Hits - Newly Recorded. Gosdin's rendition was a #10 country hit that year.
"The Cigar Song" is based on an urban legend about a man who purchases expensive cigars and takes out insurance on them, then smokes them and asks for the insurance money after claiming that they were lost in a "series of small fires".
