They went on to release other three singles from the album: "Ci chiamano bambine", "Bella" and "Ti vada o no" (included in the Italian original soundtrack of the Walt Disney animated film Hercules).

After a successful tour of Italy, they released the second album titled Giornata storica ("Historical Day") in November 1998.

Four singles were released from the album: In the summer of 2000 Paola a Chiara won the Festivalbar Best Song Award with "Vamos a bailar" achieving success all over Europe, Japan and Latin America.

This collection featured two new songs that were released as singles in the same year and a DVD (also available separately) that contains all their promo videos and some "making of" of the aforementioned clips.

Chiara released a solo single CD in January 2007 called "Nothing at All" for Raising Malawi, based on a song by Madonna, "You Thrill Me/Erotica".

In January 2009 Paola published a solo single, an English-language tune called "Alone", which peaked at number 36 in Italy.

The duo featured Boomdabash's summer hits titled "Lambada", participating in the official music video also.

According to several interviews the singers released, the song is about asking for a hand when we feel like we don't fit in or need help in this uncertain world that sometimes may look dystopian.

The music video for "Solo Mai" recorded in 2024 at Multiset Bicocca Studio in Milan, features Italian supermodel Eva Riccobono portraying "Mother Nature" while wearing a fake pregnancy belly.
