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.

“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
