Initially, the record company was not confident of Raven's switch to a more rock image and a darker, more personal style of songwriting.

The album saw Raven's transformation from the candy-pop music of M2M to a more angsty, rock-oriented singer, and was released in Scandinavia, Japan, Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Raven later confirmed that she was now signed to indie label Eleven Seven Music, which was created by her management 10th Street Entertainment.

In 2008, Raven made a cameo appearance in the music video for the song "Saints of Los Angeles" by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe.

Marion later released the single "Colors Turn to Grey" in March 2012 and stated in October 2012 that she is working on material for a new album.

In January 2014, Marion announced plans to record her third studio album after signing with Sony Music.

[16] The album features a duet with Magnus Grønneberg, with whom she collaborated with during the Hver gang vi møtes series.

[17] Ravn stated that the M2M song, Everything, was written about her break up with Hanson and her heartbreak after the tour finished and he did not call her.

[18] A second song was written by Ravn about the relationship, which she called "Jack" instead of "Zac", and was released by Pixie Lott.

[19] Raven also starred the second season of Norwegian reality TV show Hver gang vi møtes, alongside other Norwegian music artists Morten Abel, Ole Paus, Anita Skorgan, Magnus Grønneberg, Kurt Nilsen and Lene Marlin.
