Temptation Come My Way is the Showdown's second album. It features a more focused sound than their previous album, which was a fusion of various heavy metal genres. The sound of Temptation Come My Way is southern rock combined with more traditional heavy metal. It is also the last album to feature Andrew Hall, before being replaced by former Still Remains drummer AJ Barrette.

A clean edition of the album was distributed that removes the track "Fanatics and Whores", sold in Family Christian Stores or Lifeway stores. The edition is also sold by online distributor Zambooie, even though it has the original edition's track listing in their product description.
