"Another World" became the theme song of the NBC daytime soap opera of the same name; Crystal appeared in a few shows of the series around this time as herself, almost becoming a victim of the serial killer plot airing at the time. "Makin' Up for Lost Time" had been previously featured in the night time drama Dallas.
