The album peaked at number 16 on the Swedish Charts, becoming Pandora's third top twenty album, and first since Tell the World in 1995.

The album includes Pandora's two Melodifestivalen songs, "You" in 2003 and "Runaway" in 2004, with neither progressing past the semi-finals.

On the album sleeve, Pandora writes; "9 albums in 10 years, I feel so fortunate. This is music that has been in my head for quite sometime waiting... growing... Thanks to all of you who have been following me over the years and welcome to the new listeners".^[1]
