MCA had trouble pulling a successful single from the album. They released two music videos for the songs "I Need Someone" and "I Love You Love Me Love" (its title shortened to "I Love You Love"), but only "I Love You Love" was released in the 7-inch format (backed with a live version of "Talkin' 'Bout My Baby"). In the UK, "I Need Someone" was released as a 12-inch single, but the vocal differed from the album version. "Cherry Bomb" was remixed and released as a promotional 12-inch single in the US on red vinyl, coupled with an instrumental titled "Bombs Away". It is most notable, however, for the album sleeve, which featured Jett firing up a large plastic cherry with a Bic lighter. "Hide & Seek" and "I Can't Control Myself" were produced by Thom Panunzio and Kenny Laguna. Both originally appeared on the Venezuelan release of the Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth album which was titled "I Need Someone" for that country. "Bird Dog" was produced by Kenny Laguna. It originally appeared as the b-side of the British 12" single, "I Need Someone."

"Talkin' Bout My Baby" (live) was produced by John Aiosa and Kenny Laguna. It originally appeared as the b-side of "I Love You Love Me Love" and was recorded live at CBGB's in New York City on October 11, 1984. -- Danny Solazzi
