This was Lynn's second studio album of the decade. The first single, "I Know How" was a Top 5 Country hit, followed by "You Wanna Give Me a Lift" that was also a Top 10 Country hit. All the songs on the album were written by Lynn, except one song that was co-written with sister, Peggy Sue Wells, exempifying the title of the album.

“The writer who aims at producing the platitudes which are “not for an age, but for all time” has his reward in being unreadable in all ages.... The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only sort of man who writes about all people and about all time.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

That perches in the soul—
And sings the tunes without the words—
And never stops—at all—”
