You Would Have Loved This is Tarja's second solo single which is a dedication to her mother and predates the release of her Christmas album, Henkäys Ikuisuudesta. Five fans watched the single being made after winning the promotion, "Win a Day With Tarja Turunen", made in the official web forum.[1] The single was released with only 1,000 copies,[2] that were sold out in the first selling week, taking the 5th place in the official Finnish parades, the highest position for a new music in the first week.[3]

"You Would Have Loved This" was recorded originally by Cori Connors to the album "Sleepy Little Town". The music was written for Connors' mother-in-law, Helen Roy Connors, who died in 1994. Tarja saw similarities with the lyrics, and decided to put on the album:
