The album's release was preceded by its lead single " Imagination", which peaked at number 12 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and "Falling for You" which was released as the album's second single in Japan only. The publicity increased the expectations on Tamia's self-titled debut album Tamia which was released in April 1998. Her debut single "You Put a Move on My Heart", "Slow Jams" (performed with Babyface, Portrait and Barry White) and " Missing You" (performed with Brandy, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight) all earned Grammy Award nominations, making Tamia one of the most anticipated new R&B singers in the US. While recording the album, several singles with Tamia as a featured performer were released, all gaining attention. In the early 1990s, Canadian singer Tamia was offered a record contract with Quincy Jones' Qwest Records and shortly thereafter started work on her debut album. Since its release, "So Into You" has often been performed on Tamia's concerts and tours, including The Verizon Ladies First Tour in 2004 and the Single Ladies Tour in 2012. It received a Directorial Debut of the Year nomination at the MVPA Awards.
