6	!!Tropes:
7	* AlternateAlbumCover: Her self-titled debut album's first album cover is a sepia-toned cover which featured Amy without makeup taken behind a screen door, which was replaced by a more glamorous photo starting in 1982 and this later cover is what has been used ever since, and also Unguarded originally had 4 different cover poses.
8	* BreakupSong: "That's What Love Is For" is the "Teetering on the Brink of a Breakup" variant. A couple is plagued by petty fights and doubts but love continually gives them "strength to try once more."
9	* ChristianRock: She is possibly the most famous Christian Pop singer.
10	* ChristmasSongs: She has released multiple Christmas albums and made several Christmas TV specials.
11	* GenreRoulette: She has recorded in MOR/Adult Contemporary Christian Pop (her early career), Southern and Bluegrass Gospel (her hymns albums), mainstream country-folk (''Tennessee Christmas'' among others), folk-rock (her ''Lead Me On'' and ''Behind The Eyes'' albums), mainstream AC/top 40 pop (much of ''Unguarded'', ''Heart In Motion'', ''House of Love'' and ''Simple Things'' albums, the duet with [[Music/{{Chicago}} Peter Cetera]] called "The Next Time I Fall" being the most notable) and ChristianRock (the ''In Concert'' albums and certain songs from her early career) among others.
12	* GenreShift: While initially a [[ChristianRock Christian Pop]] musician, she shifted to secular pop music in the 80s and had a successful pop career, however, she has not completely left making Christian music and continued to release some music in the genre.

As such, it's not surprising for many to confuse just who the love songs were written for.
