Unlike his first album which consisted of cover versions, Fearless was composed almost entirely of original songs, mostly written by Curry with producers Michael Kamen and former Lou Reed collaborator Dick Wagner.

A single, "I Do the Rock", became Curry's most successful in the United States, reaching the Billboard Hot 100.[2] "Paradise Garage" was also released as a 7" and 12" single in certain countries.
