This album produced five singles: "Spilled Perfume", "When You Walk in the Room" (a cover of a Jackie DeShannon song), "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)", "I Was Blown Away" and "In Between Dances". Respectively, these reached #5, #2, #1, #16, and #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
