The Album was not backed by either Dana International herself or her management – in fact, they actively asked fans not to buy it.

Dana took the Helicon label to court over the rights to her back catalogue and won in September 1998.

The album was released in August 1998 by Helicon/Big Foot/PolyGram (catalogue number 559 147–2) and in September that same year on the Star Records label (STARCD 6427).

By listening carefully, it may be noticed that especially the songs "Arusa" and "Don Quixote" sound a little different.

Dana International – The Album includes songs sung in five languages; Hebrew, Arabic, English, French and Italian.
