In an interview, she discussed the title track and lead single, which was released in January 2009 and became an R&B top 20 hit and her first single on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, peaking at No. 89.

“Epiphany” is about a girl who’s sitting on her couch and saying “You know what? I’m sick and tired of waiting for these phone calls. I’m sick and tired of waiting for him to come home.” I think I’m just about over being his girlfriend. And that’s her epiphany. That’s her a-ha moment.

Regarding her collaboration with R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo.

Ne-Yo is the easiest person to talk to, and he made my experiences come to life with his lyrics. I was afraid that if somebody took the pen and the pad that it would suddenly turn into somebody else. But he did a wonderful job of capturing Chrisette Michele and it was a beautiful experience.
