Joan Armatrading sings lead vocals and plays piano and acoustic guitar, while Pam Nestor co-wrote most of the songs.

Whatever's for Us has traces of the hippie ethos which existed at the time. Many of the songs are influenced by folk music. The front cover, designed and drawn by the artist Sumiko, shows an idyllic multiracial pastoral scene, complete with long hair, patterned skirts, flowers and psychedelia. It also features drawings of Pam Nestor and Joan Armatrading, with Armatrading holding a Father Christmas mascot that had been given to her by Nestor.

Whatever's for Us was the only album recorded by Joan Armatrading and Pam Nestor, and the first recorded example of Armatrading’s playing and singing, aside from demo tapes. Cube records released the album as a Joan Armatrading effort and gave little credit to Nestor, and this caused difficulties between the two writers. Armatrading set about releasing herself from her obligations to Cube and within a short time had signed to A&M Records instead. The Cube label did not last much longer and folded in the mid 1970s, becoming absorbed into Electric Records.

All tracks composed by Joan Armatrading and Pam Nestor, except where indicated.
