Evan Dando is credited with the music for "I'll Do It Anyway", from Come On Feel the Lemonheads, the band's sixth album, out October 12, 1993, and it has a star on backing vocals: Belinda Carlisle, lead singer of the Go-Go's, sings on it as a guest.
She was one of several big names on the record, Rick James among them, a sign of how much attention the Lemonheads had drawn as the new favorites of alternative rock after It's a Shame About Ray. The Robb Brothers produced, with Dando on lead vocals and guitar, Nic Dalton on bass and David Ryan on drums, and Juliana Hatfield, the band's former bassist, adding backing vocals to several tracks. The album's biggest chart hit turned out to be "Into Your Arms", a cover of a song by Dalton's old band, Love Positions.
