During her heyday as a porn star she was hired by a local real estate business in the Caribbean island of Jamaica to shoot commercials for the agency. While there political upheaval ravaged the island and no one, not even Andrea, was allowed to leave the island with any money earned. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned money, she called on her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond, to produce a track that she could invest her money in and take it out of the country in the form of a master tape. The result was the 1976 classic disco song More, More, More written and produced by Gregg Diamond, and remixed by Tom Moulton.

In early 1977 she released the single, N.Y. You Got Me Dancing, from her White Witch follow-up album. The single became Andrea's 2nd biggest hit, reaching #27 on Billboard's Pop chart.

True briefly returned to porn shortly after the albums failure, but soon realized that there wasn't too much work in the porn industry for a woman in her late 30's. She was unable to return to music because a goiter had developed on her vocal chords that required surgery, which in turn ended her singing career. So she went on to live a more private life. However, in 1999 Andrea regained some publicity when the Canadian group Len took the catchy beat from True's signature hit More, More, More for their hit Steal My Sunshine. She has since appeared on a number of VH1 specials including Where Are They Now in 1999, VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Song in 2001 (More, More, More was the #45 greatest dance song) and VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders in 2003, where she said she wants to be remembered as a person who "gave people pleasure" —then made sure to emphasize the following words—"for my music.". She also made an appearance in the 2005 documentary movie Inside Deep Throat. She is currently living in Florida were she works as a counselor at a drug and alcohol rehab center.
