* BackedByThePentagon: Subverted. The video for "If I Could Turn Back Time" was shot on the real naval battleship the USS ''Missouri,'' and used its real crew as its background audience. This was initially approved by the Navy, as they lacked the money for recruitment advertising at the time. This video would go on to be infamous for how racy it was; in particular Cher's outfit--or lack thereof. To the point it was banned from network TV. This caused a huge headache for the Navy, who received quite a bit of backlash for allowing such a display on a historic monument; the USS ''Missouri'' being the site of Japanese surrender to end World War 2. The Secretary of the Navy briefly considered sacking the captain of the ''Missouri,'' though nobody ended up being disciplined for it.

** ''It's a Man's World'' was originally a much more classic, folk rock Cher record, however Warner felt it wasn't "commercial enough" and had her release a more contemporary pop album instead. The original folk tracks were released years later as ''[[TakeThat not.com.mercial]]'' exclusively through Cher's website.

** She did not like "Believe" when she first heard it, and it originally wasn't even going to be on the album. Some pleading by the Warner Music execs convinced her to give it another chance, which she did on the grounds that the song was reworked a bit.
