After the release of their [[Music/TheBeachBoys1985Album self-titled album]] in 1985, The Beach Boys resumed touring without Music/BrianWilson who was working on his first solo album (as well as being under the control of his psychiatrist Eugene Landy). The only songs recorded by the band during that period were made for movie soundtracks (such as Film/TroopBeverlyHills and Film/LethalWeapon2) but one soundtrack song would bring them back to the spotlight: ''Kokomo''. Composed for the movie {{Film/Cocktail}}, the single unexpectedly topped the US charts, which was a fourth time for the band 21 years after [[Music/SmileySmile ''Good Vibrations'']]. It's probably based on this song that The Beach Boys decided to get back in the studio and record an album comprised of movie soundtrack songs, an album which would ride on Kokomo's success.

While ''Still Cruisin' '' was a commercial success (again, thanks to ''Kokomo'' being its lead single), it was panned by critics. Major points of criticism were the album only having 3 recent songs which were composed for movies and the inclusion of three Beach Boys songs from the 60s, along with a recent 1987 collaboration with The Fat Boys ("Wipeout") in a desperate attempt to fulfill the album's concept (and also a desperate attempt at extending the album's length, because if you remove those 3 tracks, ''Still Cruisin''' only lasts around 26 minutes). Production by Terry Melcher was also commented as making The Beach Boys "sound like a 60s cover band".
