Content
editIncluded on the album is an acoustic rendition of the title track to Cyrus's 1992 debut album Some Gave All.
The track "She Don't Love Me (She Don't Hate Me)" was later recorded by Trent Willmon on his 2004 self-titled debut album, and by Blake Shelton on his 2007 album Pure BS. Both of these versions were titled "She Don't Love Me".
The track "Stand Still" was used as the theme song for the TV show Doc.[2]
The track "Close to Gone" was inspired by the events of September 11, 2001.[3]
Release
editBillboard reported in March 2002 that Time Flies was scheduled to be released that June as Cyrus's second album by Monument Records.[3] In December of that year, Billboard reported that Time Flies had instead been released on November 26, 2002 by Sony Music Nashville and Sony Music Special Projects in collaboration with the television networks PAX, which was then-airing Cyrus's TV series Doc, and Global QVC Solutions. The album was reported to be available "exclusively at the PAX website...and via a toll-free number being touted in promos running during Doc and other PAX programming."[4] In April 2003, Cyrus told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Time Flies failed to receive a proper release, saying, "That whole album never really got to come out."[5] Later that year, it was reported by Goldmine that Time Flies would be released on June 10, 2003 by Madacy Entertainment.[6]
