Martha Wainwright elaborated on the 20th anniversary of her album in her announcement of the North America tour on October 22, 2024:
20 years ago my life as an artist took shape when my first record was released. In many ways that record defined me, as well as launched me into a now over 20 year long career that has made me who I am. It was after 10 years of playing in bars, making cassettes and EPs to sell at my shows, singing backup for my brother Rufus-
Wainwright continued:
"-falling in love and out of love and in again, practicing, writing, singing until I could barely sing anymore, partying, walking for hours and hours, crying and laughing with friends, playing with musicians and listening to great artists working with my ex-husband in the studio for 2 years that created this first record."
She added:
"Labels wouldn’t sign me when I started and I had to craft, with the help of many people, an album that would finally be licensed and released in 2005. My first record tells my story and when it was finally released I was able to work and tour and have a career in music - something that I always wanted but wasn’t sure would happen."
Martha Wainwright is best known for her second studio album, I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too, on May 10, 2008.
The album charted at number 6 on the Canadian album rankings.
