Background
Teddy Riley wrote three songs for the album, including the new jack swing-tinged title song "Free", which was also remixed by house music legends Steve "Silk" Hurley and E-Smoove. The group itself also got involved in the writing and producing of the album, alongside Paul Jackson Jr., Julian Raymond, Stephen Bray, Andre Williams, Bernard Edwards, Demetrius Shipp, Dr. Dre, Elliot Wolff, Freddy Bastone, Keith Williams, LaVaba Mallison, Michael Verdick and Thomas Taliaferro. Thus would once again land it another concert tour opening spot with Color Me Badd, its last special for the Disney Channel, "All About The Party", and an appearance on Blossom. However, the album was not as successful on the charts as previous ones, which prompted Damon Pampolina to leave the group.
