The album was released as a digital download 3 May 2010, followed by a physical release on 5 May 2010.[1] The album demonstrates Lanto's move from her previous pop work, most notably from her debut album One which was released in 2005, to rock-influenced synthpop. The album contains four Swedish Top 40 hits on the Swedish Singles Chart. The album, however, failed to enter the Swedish Albums Chart, while Lanto's debut album One peaked at number 25 on the chart.

Singles
Since 2008, Lanto has released 3 singles which are not included on her debut album One and it is currently unknown whether or not these singles, namely: "Speak 'n Spell"; "My Favourite Pair of Jeans" and "Discotheque", will feature on her second album. Lanto said of these tracks "We haven’t really decided yet if they [''"Speak 'n Spell"''; ''"Discotheque"''] will be on there. When I recorded ‘Discotheque’ and ‘Speak N Spell’, we were doing songs that were more disco. But the new songs are more pop and rock, with a bit of punk in there. So we’ll have to record them again if we want them on the album."[2]
- "Love Made Me Stupid" - Lanto uploaded the song onto her official website and myspace on 9 November 2009 then the official music video was released to YouTube on 19 November 2009. The video was directed by Robinovich. The single was released as a promo to showcase her musical genre shift. The song is expected to be released in the UK and France shortly.[1]

- "Tickles" - Lanto's third song was released on 19 April 2010 along with a music video which, produced by the same director to work on the Love Made Me Stupid video.
