In addition to these singles, the album features a cover of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba".
== Background ==
During an interview, Walker stated he had a dream when he recorded ''Say No More'' which was "Selling dreams, that's what I want my music to do." He also stated that the album is "Riskier, yet potentially more fulfilling" then some of his other albums.〔''BPI Entertainment News Wire'' Clay Walker says plenty with `Say No More' (24 May 2001)〕 In press releases, Walker said that recording ''La Bamba'' "took a lot of guts to try this, because I know some people will rip me for it. I worked four years learning enough Spanish because I wanted it to be so correct that when a Latino hears it, he doesn't go, 'There's a gringo.'"〔Burch, Cathalena E. ''The Arizona Daily Star'' Walker spices repertoire with salsa (20 April 2001).〕
In an interview with the ''Arizona Daily Star'' Walker said, "There was a serious breakdown and a huge lack of effort to promote this album. Really, this project has gotten lost. It's kind of heartbreaking as an artist, but it's one of those lumps you take on the chin. I have a lot of ambition and a lot of heart and a lot of things to prove to myself, I'm not happy with the level we're at. I feel like we could be higher. . . . It's driven me to be a better artist."〔Burch, Cathalena E. ''Arizona Daily Star'' For country's Clay Walker, album setback is motivator (22 February 2002)〕
While promoting "A Few Questions", Walker told the ''Daily News'', "I was on Giant my whole career. The last record we did the label folded two weeks after it was released. That stung me, but I'm proud of the music we made and that's the only way I'll look back."〔''Daily News'' (Main Stage - Clay Walker ) (August 12, 2004)〕 When Giant Records closed in April 2001, president of Warner Bros. Records Jim Ed Norman said, "Our first responsibility is to deal with artists who have records out and focus on them -- Clay, the Wilkinsons and Blake Shelton. We'll jump in, full steam, with those people to determine how we assume responsibility for marketing and promoting their work."〔Morris, Edward. ''CMT'' (Giant Records Closes; Artists Will Go to Warner Bros. ) (April 13, 2001)〕
