Steamy Windows was the second single from the album Foreign Affair in Germany and America and the third one in England, including remixed dance versions from Justin Strauss, and received a Grammy nomination in 1991. Tina used the track as the opening number for some of her concert tours, a live version is available on the album TINA Live from 2009. For promotion, she performed the song at several TV-Shows in Europe and the record company released a large number of promo records with remixed versions. The song was reissued in 1995 under the 'Back to Back Hit Series‘ on the Collectables label.
A remastered version of the previously unreleased track Stronger Than The Wind was released digitally in 2021 to promote the Foreign Affair (Deluxe Edition).
