Lucinda Williams wrote "Fruits of My Labor" on her own for World Without Tears, her seventh studio album, which Lost Highway released in April 2003. She produced it with Mark Howard, who also engineered and mixed it, keeping the circle tight.
The album around it was a critical and commercial success. Reviewers heard a frank, carnal streak in it, and a noisier, randier sound than 2001's Essence, and it earned Williams two Grammy nominations, for Best Contemporary Folk Album and for her vocal on "Righteously".
