In a 2011 interview with "Old School - Back to the 80s", Decker spoke of the album: "I decided in 1998, after meeting a new manager, to start work again after years of no confidence. I would've loved to have gotten the same level of success again "Red" but it didn't happen although I did sell a lot of albums on the road." Speaking to Paul Sinclair of "Super Deluxe Edition" in 2013, Decker said: "I recorded "Red" when I was pregnant with my daughter. I toured it up and down the UK, and then I went across Europe with Status Quo and I left her behind when she was six months old. I sulked my way across Germany – it was just awful. I hadn't been a mum before. I left her safe and sound and well sorted, but I didn't take into consideration being a new mother, separated from her daughter after six months, with hormones raging... I was in bits."
