McBride's parents, Daryl and Jeanne Schiff, owned a dairy farm. Daryl, who was also a cabinetry shop owner, exposed her to country music at a young age. Listening to country music helped her acquire a love for singing. After school, she sang for hours along to the records of such popular artists as [[Reba McEntire]], [[Linda Ronstadt]], [[Juice Newton]], [[Jeanne Pruett]], [[Connie Smith]], and [[Patsy Cline]].<ref name="CMT excerpt">{{cite web|last=Oermann|first=Robert K.|title=Book Excerpt: Behind the Grand Ole Opry Curtain|url=http://www.cmt.com/news/country-music/1598651/book-excerpt-behind-the-grand-ole-opry-curtain.jhtml|date=November 5, 2008|access-date=March 23, 2011|url-status=

McBride released her debut studio album by RCA Records in 1992, titled ''[[The Time Has Come (Martina McBride album)|The Time Has Come]]''. It was produced by [[Paul Worley]] and Ed Seay. This album's [[The Time Has Come (Martina McBride song)|title track]] made it to number 23 on the country music charts, while the next two singles both failed to make the Top 40.<ref name="whitburn">{{cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|title=Hot Country Songs 1944 to 2008|publisher=Record Research, Inc|year=2008|pages=262–263|isbn=978-0-89820-177-2}}</ref> Unlike her later [[country pop]]-influenced albums, ''The Time Has Come'' featured [[honky tonk]] and [[country folk]] influences.<ref name="allmusic"/>
''[[The Way That I Am]]'' was McBride's second album. Its first two singles both brought her into the country top ten: "[[My Baby Loves Me (Just the Way That I Am)|My Baby Loves Me]]," the album's ''de facto'' title song, peaked at number two, and "[[Life Number 9|Life No. 9]]" peaked at number six. The former was previously a Top 10 hit in Canada for [[Patricia Conroy]].
"My Baby Loves Me (Just The Way That I Am)," as produced and released, proved to have a sing-along quality that led McBride to sing it that way in her subsequent concerts.
