Several hit songs including "Boy (I Love You)", "Kurot sa Puso", "Langit Na Naman" and "Habang May Buhay" were notably absent from the album for reasons unknown.

Several projects lined up such as recording a new studio album and rehearsals for her first major concert in the Araneta Coliseum to promote Pure Donna were all halted.

She as well as the VIVA Entertainment Group head Vic del Rosario, Jr. rejected the script tailor-made for Cruz entitled Putikang Anghel which will depict the former in a more controversial, racy and daring role.

Cruz's final project before her marriage in September of that same year was in Growing Up in which she voluntarily decided to play a supporting role to actress Angelu de Leon instead of starring co-lead.
