The album included the song Over the Rainbow, which had been included in her previous release recorded at the Rainbow Room, and also in the soundtrack for the film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
The Taking a Chance on Love DVD was released in March 2005 and contains performances from the Brecon Jazz Festival in Wales, UK. Monheit released her sixth album, The Season, in October 2005.

Honeysuckle Rose
by Jane Monheit
Have no use for sweets of any kind
Since the day you came around
From the start I instantly made up my mind
Sweeter sweetness can't be found
You're so sweet, can't be beat
Nothing sweeter ever stood on feet
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you're passing by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
