The album was certified gold in the US and UK, with its singles "Primadonna" and "How to Be a Heartbreaker" becoming international hits.

Mediterraneanvision
Diamandis represented Greece at the Mediterraneanvision Song Contest 7 in Monaco with the song "To Be Human". Due to Greece being a member of the big 6 in this edition, she did not have to compete in the semi-finals and thus she was an automatic qualifier. In the final, she won with 380 points giving Greece their second victory in the contest.
