Singles

[edit]
  • "Make Believe", the first single from the album received only a promotional release, a move previously seen with "Go Go" from Pakarinen's third album Lovers. The single therefore did not chart.
  • "Shout It Out Loud" was the album's second single and was the first (and only) single from the album to receive a full commercial release. It peaked at number two on the Finnish singles chart, Pakarinen's highest entry since her debut single, "Love Is Like a Song", in 2004.
  • The album's title track was the third single. It was released as a promotional single and accompanied by a music video, Pakarinen's first in almost two years.
  • "Rescue Me" was the fourth and final single released from the album. It was released only to promote the album's supportive tour and, as a result, did not chart. It was co written by UK songwriter Tara McDonald.
