The fourth and final single, "A Girl's Gotta Do (What a Girl's Gotta Do)," peaked at No. 4. The next year, McCready released the album If I Don't Stay the Night. The album spawned three singles, "What If I Do," "The Other Side of This Kiss," and "You'll Never Know." The album sold 825,000 copies. In 1999, McCready released I'm Not So Tough.
