- "Love Lite" was the only album Shadow released on Elektra Records.
- The album was produced by the band with assistance from former member, keyboardist Reggie Jackson, who had left the group in 1977.
- "Love Lite" featured a cover of the Burt Bacharach song "The Look of Love", which was released as the album's only single but did not chart.
