The title track was one of their notable hits in the beginning of the 1980s though it didn't return the Isleys to their past glory. The older and younger Isleys, in the meantime, were arguing over the group's direction. Disagreements would eventually lead to an implosion in the 3 + 3 lineup.[citation needed]
