After the mild success of her first album, Bonham commenced work on a second studio album in 1997 with Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake . Bonham hoped to make an album that would better reflect her classical influences and serve as a more mature outing . The album, then known as Trails of a Dust Devil , was finished in the spring of 1998, but executives at Island were unhappy with the album as they did not feel like it had a hit single. Reluctantly, Bonham returned to writing new, more commercial-sounding songs, including “Behind Every Good Woman”. Satisfied, Island then set a release date for the album of October 1998.
