Stacey Q's real name is Stacey Lynn Swain.

Stacey was born Nov. 30, 1958, in Fullerton, Calif. She is the youngest of three children. Her mother, Joyce Swain, was a dog breeder whose Cardigan Welsh Corgis have appeared in various Hollywood films and television series.

Stacey Q is sometimes called by her nickname "Shy Girl" (the name of one her songs).

Stacey's Playboy pictorial was titled "Stacey's Lacy." (see below).

At the height of the success of "Two of Hearts", Swain was approached by "Weird Al" Yankovic for permission to record a parody single, "Two Pop-Tarts." The parody was never released, as Swain explained in a January 2007 interview: “Royalties at the record company level were held up because of the 'Two of Hearts' songwriters, so we nicely advised our friend Al, 'Don't bother'.”

The episode of "The Facts of Life" in which Stacey guest-starred, "Off-Broadway Baby," proved more successful than anticipated. The episode performed well in the ratings during a season when viewership had declined, and also became one of the top-rated episodes of the entire series. The show's writers immediately made plans to bring back the Cinnamon character. Some producers went further, suggesting creating a Cinnamon Barbie Doll and possibly even a Cinnamon spin-off sitcom. Swain's record label, however, was against the idea, believing if the singer concentrated too much on acting, she would produce fewer hit singles and be perceived as a one-hit wonder.

Stacey Q recorded an song called "Stardust," which was never officially released. However, in 2003 the song was copied onto CD-Rs, along with the 10 tracks from "Better Than Heaven," and sold exclusively through eBay, the online auction website.

According to a July 1995 interview with Dance Music Authority, Stacey Q's appearance on "The Facts of Life" was broadcast in Australia before the release of "Two of Hearts", causing some Australians to believe "Two of Hearts" was borrowed from the actual television series.

The South Korean girl group Wonder Girls sampled "Two of Hearts" in their hit song "Tell Me."

A doll named Stacey Q was released a few years ago as part of the Curly Q's doll collection. However, the doll had no relation to the singer. (see below).
