American cover with the title The One and Only. This cover is used on the download release in the UK, replacing the title with Buddy's Song.

Every song on the British release of the album was used in the film except "A Crazy World like This". It was to be Hawkes' only album to make the Top 40, peaking at number 18 in the UK Albums Chart. Three singles from the album were released: "The One and Only", "I'm a Man Not a Boy" and "Secrets of the Heart". In the US, "Feel So Alive" was released as the second single[1], but it failed to chart.

The film's screenwriter Nigel Hinton contributed to the soundtrack by co-writing all but three songs in the UK release of the album.
