According to Eydie Gorme, the concept for the album was suggested by MGM Records President Mike Curb.[4] Curb came up with the album title and said they should sing "hit songs from other countries".[4] The album was produced and arranged by Don Costa and a tutor was hired for each of the languages in which they sang.

The album produced two singles: "Lead Me On", written by Ernie Shelton and Jack Keller, and "We Can Make it Together" (featuring The Osmonds). On the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, "We Can Make it Together" peaked at #68.[5]
