Everything I Want to Be was initially meant to serve as Lucien's third studio album, with its track-listing being published in July 2011.

However, he stated on Twitter in September 2011 that instead, he was heading back to the studio and he would release a compilation album, featuring five new songs as well as old and never heard before material.

[1] "Be With You" was originally promoted as a single to accompany the album, but nothing ever came of a proper release.

"Hook U Up" was recorded in 2009 to accompany Lucien's first foray into TV presenting Matchmaker.

"Be With You" samples "Boig per tu" by Sau[3] and "You're Leaving Me" is an English language cover of Jeanette's "Porque te vas", translated into English by Patsy Kensit and Elizabeth Hurley.
