The album's lead single, the title track "Here I Am", was featured in the film What's New Pussycat? Despite this, the single failed to make the Top 40 in the U.S. The follow-up, "Looking With My Eyes", was prominently featured on the dance show "Hullabaloo", but did not make the chart either.
The third single from the album, "Are You There (With Another Girl)" was released in December 1965, and became a hit, making the Top 40.
Several early copies of the album had errors in the album cover, listing tracks such as "It's Love That Really Counts" that were not included on the album itself. Other notable songs featured on the album are the bouncy "Window Wishing", the hauntingly beautiful "If I Ever Make You Cry" and "This Little Light" which featured Warwick herself on the piano.
