Album information

The last member of the Spice Girls to release a solo album, Victoria co-wrote 11 of the 12 album tracks.The album didn't include the hit "Out of Your Mind", but spawned two Top 10 singles, "Not Such An Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of Its Own". The album peaked at number-ten in UK album chart, with 16,000 copies sold in its first week, however only 52,016 copies were sold overall. After "Being Victoria Beckham"," an official documentary that aired in early March 2002, the album re-entered the UK charts at number sixty-seven with the added TV exposure. "I Wish" was planned as a third single from the album (as a remix duet with Robbie Craig), and it was thought that the single could reverse the album's fortunes, but the single was cancelled when Beckham left Virgin Records.

Included on the album was the song Watcha Talkin About, rumoured to be about Victoria's relationship with ex-bandmate Geri Halliwell, following the theme of many of the Spice Girls in writing about Geri's departure from the band. Also Girlfriend was co-written with Dane Bowers.

The album cost 5 million pound sterling to make.

It has just recently been released to buy on the US iTunes.

"Every Part of Me" was covered in Japanese as "Flowers" by J-Pop artist Crystal Kay on her 2005 album "Crystal Style".
