decided to work with Jackson because "we like the underdogs." The four Full Force tracks include "You're Gonna Get Rocked!", "You Blew", "Such a Wicked Love", and "Not Giving Up On Love." Other contributions were from producers Bobby Hart & Dick Eastman on the duet with John Pagano "If I Could Get To You", Harold Faltermeyer on the eccentric "Turn On the Radio", and Stephen Laurence Harvey on "Does It Really Matter".
