In mid-2008, it was announced that Katy Garbi was in the studio recording songs for a summer CD single and it would be a precursor to an album to be released in the fall.

Garbi stated in an interview on Mega Channel's Mega Star that the album "is one of my greatest musical collaborations, with Nikos Antipas; everybody knows who he is, and with his experience, great work and enthusiasm, we have greatly increased the strength of this latest work, which will present a completely refreshed, new and desirable Katy Garbi and the end result will be nothing short of a success, I guarantee you!!

The promotion of 'Kainourgia ego' began in November 2008 as Garbi kicked off the winter season at Club Enastron with the first single of the album "Afto aksizo" prior to its release.

[11] Within a month of its release, Alpha TV began airing a 20-second promotional spot of the album during its morning time slot showcasing various songs.

With the first music video "Kainourgia ego" premiering on MAD TV, the music channel's website www.mad.tv and its affiliate the Katy Garbi official fanclub Garbofans.gr held a competition where members would compete by recreating the new album's cover art using selected images from its official artwork for a chance at winning a selection of albums from Garbi's discography.
