The gorgeous ballad is a testament to the power that love has to inject vibrancy into life. "For me, with my husband being there with me through everything, the ups and the downs of the industry, it was our song," says the singer of the tune, co-written by Guy Roche & Shelly Peiken, who have penned tunes for Brandy, Cher, Christina Aguilera and others. "I love ballads because they touch my heart more than everything. They allow me to release whatever emotions I'm going through," she says. “No More Tears,” which has an acoustic bolero flavor, is the second single on Diaz’s album and was # 38 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The gifted vocalists’ songwriting talents are also on display here, as Dian worked with none other than multi-platinum artist Narada Michael Walden, who has produced and/or co-written #1 hits by Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey ("Vision of Love"), Aretha Franklin ("Freeway of Love"), and Lisa Fischer ("How Can I Ease the Pain"), among others.

Also contributing to the album are songwriters Dre & Vidal, who co-wrote the sexy Latin groove of "This Night." The duo, from DJ Jazzy Jeff’s famed A Touch of Jazz production crew, has contributed R&B hits to Mary J. Blige, Usher, Alicia Keys, and Jamie Foxx.
