Career
In 1973, Lisa Brokop was born in Surrey, British Columbia. Brokop was on stage with her accordion-playing mother, performing polkas and a few other country music songs by age seven. When Brokop was twelve years old, she began playing with bands around Vancouver, British Columbia, and formed a touring band when she was 15. "Daddy, Sing to Me" was Brokop's first single when she was just 17 years old. The song managed to debut at the top of the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart. My Love, her debut album, was released on the following year on the independent Libre Records label. Brokop graduated from the Princess Margaret Secondary School in Surrey, Surrey, in June 1991; she then moved south to Nashville, Tennessee, to further her country music education.
Brokop first appeared in local clubs and attracted the attention of The Nashville Network in 1992. Brokop's video for her single "Time to Come Back Home" was broadcast on the network, and she appeared on The Ralph Emery Show as a guest. Brokop was given a record deal with Patriot Records, a label owned by Liberty Records, thanks to the appearance on The Ralph Emery Show and a 30-minute showcase at a local club. Brokop appeared in the 1994 film Harmony Cats, where she played a country singer looking for a big break in Nashville, before Brokop began releasing her second album. Brokop contributed to the film's soundtrack and her interpretation of Tammy Wynette's 1968 number one hit "Stand by Your Man" was released as a single, peaking at No. 141.

In June 1994, Brokop's first single, "Give Me a Ring Sometime," was released. The single made it to the top 20 in Canada, but it fell short of No. 1. The United States is ranked 52 on the United States. Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. However, Every Little Girl's Dream, her first major label album, was released in September 1994. Although "Give Me a Ring Sometime" was on the radio, many Canadian radio stations refused to air Brokop's music after the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission found that "Give Me a Ring Sometime" did not have a lot of Canadian content in the song. Despite this, Brokop's album continued to produce two more top 40 singles in Canada with "Take That" and "One of Those Nights." The album had been awarded Gold by the CRIA for sales of 50,000 copies by 1995.

None of the album's first two singles made it to the top of the charts in Canada or the United States, and the album's third, "West of Madness," did not chart at all. Brokop's album's demise ignited his career, and she and Capitol were forced to refocus on songwriting after it was deemed out.
