VOA is the last solo album Sammy Hagar released before joining Van Halen. Around the same time Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen, guitarist Gary Pihl joined Boston. The title is a reference to the Voice of America broadcast network.

The first track "I Can't Drive 55" has been a signature track for Hagar during and after his tenure with Van Halen, and is commonly used on TV programs and commercials related to automotive racing. Most recently, the song was featured in a NAPA Auto Parts commercial, where NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip (with then-teammate Dale Jarrett) asking Hagar to keep the noise down; in response, Hagar asked Waltrip if he could drive faster.
