Unable to approach the success of ''"[[You Light Up My Life (song)|You Light Up My Life]]''", [[Debby Boone]] left Top 40 radio behind in 1980 and turned her career toward Country music with the release of her fourth album, ''Love Has No Reason'' (No. 17 Country). Boone had already established a presence on Country radio prior to the release of this album having placed seven singles, including ''"[[You Light Up My Life (song)|You Light Up My Life]]''" (No. 4 Country), on Billboard's Country Singles chart. Boone's first album, ''[[You Light Up My Life (Debby Boone album)|You Light Up My Life]]'', also reached No. 6 on Billboard's Country Albums chart.
 
''Love Has No Reason'' was produced by Larry Butler who was responsible for much of [[Kenny Rogers]]' music during this era. The album's first single, "Are You On The Road To Lovin' Me Again," rose to No. 1 on the Country singles chart and crossed over to AC radio peaking at No. 31. Two weeks before ''Road'' ascended to No. 1, Boone was part of a historic Top 5 on the Billboard Country singles chart. For the week ending April 19, 1980, the Top 5 positions were all held by women:
