Naked and Sacred is Chynna Phillips' debut (and only) solo album, released on November 7, 1995. She was the only member of the pop group Wilson Phillips to remain on her label, EMI, after the group broke up in late 1992. The album didn't see strong sales, selling 22,000 copies in the United States according to Billboard.com, but received good reviews. Chynna co-wrote 8 of the album's 11 songs (writing the last track on her own), which featured productions from Rick Nowels, Glen Ballard (who produced the majority of Wilson Phillips' previous work), and Desmond Child. According to Phillips, she was offered $1 million to record a solo album for EMI and was dropped shortly after due to the album's disappointing sales.
Three singles were commercially released from the album: "Naked and Sacred", "I Live for You" (which was featured in the end credits of the 1996 film Striptease starring Demi Moore), and "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" (written by Diane Warren, and later recorded as a duet by country music singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw for Hill's 1998 album Faith). The album track "Remember Me" was released in promo form and sent to U.S. radio in 1996 but was never commercially released.
