On the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated September 2, 2006, this album's lead-off single "Once in a Lifetime" debuted at number 17, making it the highest-debuting country single in the 62-year history of the Billboard country music charts at the time. This record was later broken in 2007 by Kenny Chesney's "Don't Blink" (which debuted at number 16 on the same chart), and then again by Garth Brooks' "More Than a Memory" (which debuted at number 1). "Once in a Lifetime" went on to peak at number 6 on the country charts. The other singles released from this album ("Stupid Boy", "I Told You So", and "Everybody ") went to number 3, 2, and 5 respectively, making this the first American album of Urban's career not to produce a Number One hit. "Raise the Barn", a duet with Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn, was written in response to Hurricane Katrina.[2]
The song "I Can't Stop Loving You" is a cover of a Leo Sayer song. "Stupid Boy", was originally recorded by its writer, Sarah Buxton.
