By 1979, Margo Smith had two number one singles on the American country charts with the songs "Don't Break the Heart That  Loves You" and "It Only Hurts for a Little While." Following this, she adopted a "sexier" image and had hits that further defined this new persona, such as "Still a Woman." Her new image transitioned into 1979 album release, "Just Margo", which featured Smith wearing a satin bathrobe on the cover. "Just Margo" was recorded between June and July 1979 at the Columbia Recording Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Norro Wilson, who had been collaborating with Smith since her first studio release with Warner Bros. Records in 1976. "Just Margo" contained twelve tracks, five of  which were composed by Smith herself. It also included covers of previously-recorded material, such as Kris Kristofferson's "I'd Rather Be Sorry" and Janis Ian's "Jesse." Release and chart performance.
