Attitude is the second album by new jack swing group Troop released by Atlantic Records on October 13, 1989.[1] The album features numerous debuts by several well known musicians. The songs "My Music" and "I Will Always Love You" marked the debut of record producer Dallas Austin. A then-unknown Trent Reznor appears as a recording engineer on the songs "That's My Attitude" and "For You". The video version of the single "Spread My Wings" was the first song remixed by hip hop producer Clark Kent. Attitude was the highest charting album from Troop, peaking within the Top 5 on the Top R&B Albums chart and received a gold certification. It spawned the group's first two R&B hits to peak at number-one: "Spread My Wings" and the cover of the Jackson 5 song, "All I Do Is Think of You," both of which was produced by singer and producer Chuckii Booker.
