It was Falco's second album produced by Bolland & Bolland. The lead single was "The Sound of Musik". The second single, "Coming Home (Jeanny Part II, One Year Later)", is a sequel to the song "Jeanny".

The album's cover, a still from the music video for the title track, is a homage to a similar backdrop used by Elvis Presley in his 1968 comeback special.
