"Peter Cetera", released in September 1981, is the self-titled first solo release by then-Chicago bassist and lead vocalist, Peter Cetera. A much more rock-oriented album than Chicago had been producing at the time, Cetera released the album in September 1981 while still a member of the band. Released on Full Moon Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers (reissued in 2004 on Wounded Bird Records), the album was not commercially successful, peaking at #143 on the Billboard 200 chart in March 1982, after making its first appearance on the Billboard 200 chart on January 23, 1982 at #192. However, it is notable because Cetera is the sole writer of all songs on the album save one - "I Can Feel It," which Cetera co-wrote with Ricky Fataar and Carl Wilson. Wilson, a member of the Beach Boys and a friend of Cetera's, also played guitar on the song. The single "Livin' In The Limelight," the only hit from the album, was released on November 18, 1981, and charted at #6 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock. One year after Peter Cetera was released, Cetera and Chicago launched a major comeback with the number one single, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry", and album, Chicago 16. After 1984's Chicago 17 was also a massive hit, Cetera left the band to concentrate fully on his solo career. The song, "On the Line", which appears on this album, was on the B-side of the 45 RPM single of Cetera's first number one song as a solo performer in 1986, "Glory of Love".

"Solitude/Solitaire" is the second solo album by former Chicago bassist and vocalist Peter Cetera, and his first album after leaving the band in 1985. It was released in June 1986. The album includes the hits "Glory of Love" and "The Next Time I Fall" (with Amy Grant); both reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Solitude/Solitaire was produced by Michael Omartian, who later co-produced Cetera's 2001 album, Another Perfect World. The album was Cetera's greatest solo success, peaking at #23 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA, selling over one million copies in the U.S. "Solitude/Solitaire" marked a high point in Cetera's career, where he achieved success for the first time on his own.

The album was co-produced by Patrick Leonard and Peter Cetera, and contains an appearance by Leonard's most famous artist at the time, Madonna (appearing on the song "Scheherazade" as 'Lulu Smith'). It also features Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour on "Body Language" and "You Never Listen to Me", as well as Oak Ridge Boys bass vocalist Richard Sterban and guitarist/vocalist Bonnie Raitt on "Save Me." "One More Story" peaked at #58 on the Billboard 200 chart. Singles include the hit, "One Good Woman," which made it to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Best of Times" peaking at #59. "Save Me" was used as the opening theme during the first season of the NBC television show, Baywatch. Incidentally, drummer Tris Imboden appears on this album. He would later join Chicago, replacing original drummer Danny Seraphine. "Heaven Help This Lonely Man" was used on the American daytime serial Santa Barbara.

"World Falling Down" is the fourth solo album for music artist Peter Cetera, released in July 1992, and his third album since leaving the group Chicago. Released four years after his previous album, One More Story, World Falling Down was recorded sporadically over a lengthy period across nine different recording studios. Cetera's marriage to second wife, Diane Nini had ended, causing the once busy songwriter to step away from the music scene. Between 1988 and 1992, his only musical activities were an appearance as a guest vocalist on Cher's 1989 single, "After All", a song on the soundtrack to the movie Chances Are, "No Explanation" for the soundtrack to the movie Pretty Woman, and a vocal contribution to David Foster's "Voices That Care" production, based on music that he and Cetera had written together years earlier. Deeply depressed, Cetera found himself using the album as an outlet to deal with his marriage ending and learning to be a single parent. Recording began in London England and occurred in short, spread out bursts as Cetera worked through the personal issues in his life. "World Falling Down" reached a peak of #163 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart during a brief stay. Following its commercial disappointment, Cetera left Warner Brothers and signed to the independent record label, River North Records.
