Background
"The Life of Riley", released as a single in March 1992, was written for Broudie's son Riley.
The album's second single, "Sense", was co-written by Broudie and Specials singer and long time writing partner Terry Hall. The single would include a track written by Broudie and Simon Rogers from their time as Care, "Flaming Sword", as a B-side. Hall would go on to release a re-recorded version of Sense with himself on vocals in 1994.
In 2009, an instrumental version of "Sense" was used in BMW's Story of Joy advertisement. The song has also appeared on BBC's Match of the Day soundtracking goal compilations.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
