Singles

Eleni Foureira includes "Mia Nychta Mono", her 2nd solo single ever that featured Thirio. This was the first single from the album to be released on 6 May 2010.[3] On 14 June, at the Mad Video Music Awards 2010,[4] Eleni debuted the 2nd single from the album which was a remix of Dan Balan's "Chica Bomb", which was put on streaming services 5 days later.[5] Then, on 24 September 2010, Foureira performed on the ANODOS stage and debuted "To 'cho (Pom Pom)",[6] which was released on streaming services just 4 days later.[7] To'cho's music video set was the same set used in the album's photoshoot.

Reissues

The album was reissued in a jacket case – different from the standard edition's jewel case – on 31 December 2010, including one less track than the original edition. The reissue also included a different barcode and a modified back cover to include the Proto Thema logo. The CD's label was also modified to include a different barcode and the Proto Thema logo. This reissue was only on physical CDs, and not available on streaming services.

The track count in this reissue was only 9, as "Ase Me" was not included in the CD.
