The Kinleys' album "II" was released on July 18, 2000, through Epic Nashville. It was their second and final album with the label. After releasing a single in July 1999 that didn't perform well, Epic Records brought in Radney Foster to produce some of the tracks in an attempt to broaden the duo's sound. Ultimately, half of the album was produced by Foster, and the other half by Tony Haselden and Russ Zavitson, who had worked with the duo on their first album.
The album includes the singles "She Ain't the Girl for You," "I'm In," and "You're Still Here". Jennifer Kinley sang lead vocals on a Kinleys song for the first time on "I Need You Now". The album also includes "Somebody's Out There Watching," which was previously included on the soundtrack for the TV series *Touched by an Angel*.
