Meanwhile, "Love Is Never Equal" appeared on the 2005 Jenny McCarthy film Dirty Love.

The album cover illustration, which initially featured a Prozac pill, was changed to show a pair of test tubes when Wal-Mart refused to carry the album in its stores. The company asserted that the original image promoted drug abuse.
