It was compiled by Fredriksson alongside her husband Mikael Bolyos and former EMI executive Kjell Andersson, and consists of personal favourites among her previously recorded ballads, along with new songs "Ordet är farväl" and "Ett bord i solen".

"Ordet är farväl" was released on 18 November 2007; it had been composed several years earlier by Bolyos and Swedish pop singer Py Bäckman, whom Fredriksson described as a "fantastic songwriter".

[3] "Ett bord i solen" followed on 7 February 2008; it is a Swedish language version of "A Table in the Sun", a track originally from Fredriksson's 2004 English album The Change.

"[4] Expressen referred to Fredriksson as "Sweden's uncrowned ballad queen, at least in the 80's and 90's where the majority of these songs are from", and described the record as "finely tuned, emotional and beautiful".

"[6] A writer for Nya Wermlands-Tidningen claimed that several songs on the compilation had lost their appeal due to being overplayed "on all [Swedish] radio station playlists since the day they were released.
