Released in late 1976 as the lead single and title track for her debut album of the same name, "Torn Between Two Lovers" became a massive success. A few months after its release, the track climbed the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks in February 1977. The track also peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Easy Listening chart and No. 4 on the U.K. Singles Chart.
Produced by Peter Yarrow of the folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary and Barry Beckett via Ariola America Records, the song is recognizable for its breezy melody and smooth arrangement. MacGregor entrances listeners with a strong vocal performance over top sweeping strings, creating a definitive ballad and easy-listening experience.

Despite the song's positive reception, it prompted speculation that the lyrics were inspired by biographical events in MacGregor's life. Because of this suspicion, MacGregor grew to despise the song, believing its rigorous promotion schedule ultimately contributed to the dissolution of her own marriage.
