When Heart in Motion was released in 1991, many fans were surprised that the album was so clearly one of contemporary pop music. Grant’s desire to widen her audience was frowned upon by the confines of the popular definitions of ministry at the time. The track “Baby Baby” (written for Grant’s newborn daughter Millie, of whom Grant wrote, her “six-week-old face was my inspiration”) became a pop hit (hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100), and Grant was established as a name in the mainstream music world. “Baby Baby” received Grammy nominations for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Record and Song of the Year (although it failed to win in any of those categories). Four other hits from the album made the Pop top 20: “Every Heartbeat” (No. 2), “That’s What Love Is For” (No. 7), “Good for Me” (No. 8), and “I Will Remember You” (No. 20). On the Adult Contemporary chart, all five songs were top 10 hits, with two of the five (“Baby Baby” and “That’s What Love Is For”) reaching No. 1. Many Christian fans remained loyal, putting the album atop Billboard Contemporary Christian Chart for 32 weeks. Heart in Motion is Grant’s best-selling album, having sold over five million copies according to the RIAA. Grant followed the album with her second Christmas album, Home For Christmas in 1992, which included the song “Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song)”, written by Chris Eaton and Grant, and would later be covered by many artists, including Donna Summer, Jessica Simpson (who acknowledged Grant as one of her favorite artists), Vince Gill, Sara Groves, Point of Grace, Gladys Knight, and Broadway star Barbara Cook.
