"How Can I Unlove You", was released as a single in August of 1971, shortly after her previous hit, "You're My Man", peaked at No. 1 on the country charts. Anderson had recently enjoyed the biggest hit of her career, "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden", in February of 1971. "How Can I Unlove You" reached No. 63 on the Pop charts, the same position as her previous No. 1 country hit, "You're My Man".
