Following his departure from the rock band in 1985, Cetera released his first solo single, "Livin' in the Limelight," shortly after. The track wasn't a mainstream success, with Cetera only gaining traction as a solo artist when he released his second single, "Glory of Love." It was released in early June and written alongside his then-wife Diane Nini and David Foster.
"Glory of Love" appears in the martial arts film Karate Kid Part II, starring Ralph Macchioand Pat Morita. Thanks to the movie's popularity as one of the highest-grossing films of 1986, Cetera's track also gained recognition as its main theme. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe in the same category. It lost the Oscar to Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me." Cetera was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Vocal Performance by a Male Artist.

"People thought ‘Glory of Love’ was the new Chicago song,” Cetera said in an interview with the LA Times. “A lot of them went looking for the Chicago album. They didn’t know about me as a solo artist. . . . They said, ‘Peter who?’"
He explains that despite the track being a No. 1 hit, he couldn't take full advantage of it because his solo career was overshadowed by the band. The singer says the mix-up caused him thousands in album sales when fans instead bought the movie soundtrack instead of his solo album.
