True was hired by a real estate business in Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay on Jamaica, a political crisis gripped the island, and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned pay, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond, to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration was "More, More, More." It ultimately reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a full album with the same title soon followed. The single also reached the charts in Great Britain (where it peaked at No. 5) and Germany (where it reached No. 9). In early 1977, True released the single "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing". The single became True's second biggest hit, reaching No. 27 on Billboard's Pop chart. A year later, in 1978, she had a second hit in Great Britain with "What's Your Name, What's Your Number," taken from her (second) UK album of the same name. The single climbed to No. 34 on the British charts.
