Despite the inclusion of the “WWE” logo on the album cover, the spine on the CD case labels this as a "WWF" release.^[2] This is because a week prior to the album's release, WWE had changed its name from "WWF" following a trademark dispute with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The album had already been cataloged as a "WWF" release by Geffen.^[3] The album remains listed as a legacy "WWF" release on digital music services.^[4]

"Gone Away"

The album's single, a moody ballad, was originally written for Cold vocalist Scooter Ward's daughter Raven. It focuses on missing family while being on the road and traveling to performances, a necessary evil in both music and professional wrestling. Regarding the song's addition to the Tough Enough 2 album, Ward said:

"Leaving home all the time, never being here because we were on the road — I thought that [wrestlers] must feel the same way because they travel a lot. They leave their family and all that, so I figured I'd just send [what I was working on] to them, thinking they'd never pick it up, but they did."

The song's music video was credited as from Cold's then-forthcoming album Year of the Spider, which wouldn't be released until a year later. Two videos were made, the original having been shot in March 2002 in the group's hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, by director Paul Boyd. In it, the daughter is seen on one of three giant projection screens as Cold perform in a plush, empty theater while fans are projected on the other screens. The audience, some of which traveled from Chicago to be cast into the video, was also treated to a few other Cold songs at the small venue.^[5]
