The song "If Ya Wanna Be Bad - Ya Gotta Be Good" makes its debut on an album, originally appearing on the B-side of " Let's Make a Night to Remember" - to which it is paired on the Unplugged album. Three new songs were included "Back To You", "When You Love Someone", and "A Little Love".
Adams was joined by Irish piper Davy Spillane and Michael Kamen who wrote orchestrations for many of the songs and brought students from the Juilliard School to play them. Recorded by David Hewitt and Bob Clearmountain on the Remote Recording Silver Truck.
The album was recorded completely on September 26, 1997, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Unplugged is an acoustic live album by Canadian musician Bryan Adams.
