Per Gessle thought of this album as his little side project from Roxette, but it turned out to be a huge success, subsequently being certified 5× platinum status in Sweden. He also played some of the songs from it on the Gyllene Tider's Finn 5 fel! tour in 2004, despite the fact that they were not Gyllene Tider songs.
