"Up in Flames" had previously appeared on Lynch's 1990 musical play Industrial Symphony No. 1; "Questions in a World of Blue", an instrumental version of "She Would Die for Love", and an instrumental version of "The Voice of Love" were all included in the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which was also directed by David Lynch and in which Cruise makes a brief appearance.
