Living in a Moment is led off by its title track, which is also the first single release from it. This song became Herndon's second Number One hit on the Billboard country singles charts in 1996. Following this song were the #21 "She Wants to Be Wanted Again", the #2 "Loved Too Much" and the #17 "I Have to Surrender".
Four of this album's songs have also been recorded by other artists. "She Wants to Be Wanted Again" was originally recorded by Larry Stewart on his 1994 album Heart Like a Hurricane, and later by Western Flyer on their 1996 album Back in America. "I Know How the River Feels" was later released in 1999 as a single by Diamond Rio from their 1998 album Unbelievable, and again by McAlyster in 2000. In addition, Gary Allan recorded "Don't Tell Mama" on his 1999 album Smoke Rings in the Dark, as did Doug Stone on his 2007 album My Turn. Stone's version was a single in 2008. Kevin Sharp recorded "Her Heart Is Only Human" on his 1998 album Love Is. Frankie Ballard recorded and under the title "Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking" on his 2014 album Sunshine & Whiskey.
Doug Virden and Drew Womack, members of the band Sons of the Desert at the time, provided background vocals on this album, as did Blue Miller, formerly of the Silver Bullet Band and Gibson/Miller Band. Both the Gibson/Miller Band and Sons of the Desert recorded for Epic as well.
