It was released in 1993 by Tabu Records as the second single from his fifth studio album, Love Makes No Sense (1993). The song's distinctive backing vocals were performed by Cherrelle. Following the successful chart performances of the single "Love Makes No Sense", "In the Middle" was recorded by Wolfgang Aichholz at Winsonics, Los Angeles, CA.[1] It became O'Neal's 24th hit single, reaching number 32 on the UK Singles Chart and number 26 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
