Unlike most of Beegie Adair's albums, which serve as tributes to songwriters and performers and present her piano interpretations of their music, Into Somethin' has no particular theme; rather, it serves as a showcase for Adair's musical approach. Also, it eschews the piano trio format of many of her other discs, with her solo piano occupying the spotlight, except when she cedes it to a guest vocalist or horn player. That happens several times on the album, as singers Roy Agee, Jim Ferguson, and Jeff Hall take the lead on the Adair originals "Try Again" and "Miss Ferguson, I Presume," as well as "No Way Out."
