Another Woman in Love is Maureen McGovern's fifth studio album and her first one in eight years. It was recorded at Counterpoint Recording Studios in New York City in 1985 and was released two years later. It was the first album to categorize McGovern into the musical styles of jazz and pop standards and is one of two of her albums to contain only solo piano accompaniment. Of all the thirteen tracks on the album, only three of them are original (McGovern's longtime friend and collaborator Judy Barron wrote the lyrics to these three). The rest are simply covers of older songs by various American composers, though the album's first (and only) single was Peter Allen's "I Could Have Been a Sailor." The second track is a two-song medley of songs co-written by Jerome Kern.
