"I'll Think of Something" was originally a Top Ten country hit in 1974 for Hank Williams, Jr., who recorded it on his album Living Proof. In addition, "It's Not Over (If I'm Not over You)" was originally recorded by Reba McEntire on her 1984 album My Kind of Country. Chesnutt later included the song on his 1997 album Thank God for Believers, releasing it as a single from that album in 1998.
