Background and content

I'll Love You More was recorded in several sessions beginning in September 1967 and ending in September 1968. All sessions were held at the Fred Foster Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee and were produced by Foster himself.[2] The album contained 11 tracks previously unrecorded by Seely.[1] I'll Love You More included cover versions of songs recorded by other artists. Such covers included "If My Heart Had Windows", originally recorded by George Jones. A second cover was "Mr. Record Man", which was originally cut by Willie Nelson in 1961.[2] The album also contained songs written by Seely's then-husband, songwriter Hank Cochran. Six of the record's tracks were either written or co-written by Cochran. The ninth track, "You've Changed Everything About Me But My Name", was co-written by Cochran and Seely.[2]
