After the mild success of her last album Mandy Moore, she began recording the album Coverage, which was a collection of covers of music from the 1970s and 80s. The album peaked at #14 on the Billboard 200, her highest peak to date, selling 53,000 copies its first week, her highest to date. In Australia, "Have a Little Faith in Me" has only released to radio. In Australia, Moore has achieved five Top 25 hits on the ARIA chart. With only one single released to radio, Coverage reached only #97 on the Australian albums chart, her lowest studio album to date. A video for "Drop the Pilot" was made, but was never released in the States. "Senses Working Overtime" (original a single by XTC released in 1982) was released in March 2003 as the official second single in the States, but failed to make a large impact. Sales of the album overall were disappointing, according to Nielsen SoundScan the album had sold 294,000 copies in the United States;^[4] after the release of a greatest hits album, Moore parted ways with Epic Records.

The album, again, was not released worldwide, this time the album was released in selected countries from Australia, Asia and Latin America. It achieved Platinum status in The Philippines where she performed on the country's most viewed show "Eat Bulaga" and received several certifications from her past albums and a new one including Coverage.
