Album information

The album was recorded half in Sweden and half in Finland.[2] Two singles debuted on the swedish singles charts, Days of Summer #7 and Exception #10. The album was released in Japan on February 14, 2007, containing two bonus tracks. The first one is "Falling to Pieces," the B-side of the "Days of Summer" single. The second is a completely new track "If I'm Not Dreaming." A completely new Japanese website from Avex Trax has been released for the forthcoming release of Little Angel in Japan. In a message on the official website, Ana states that she will be doing some promotion in Japan in the last days of January. The Japanese release became a CD/DVD release, with the CD containing the basic album track listing featuring two bonus tracks and the DVD will feature the video for "Exception" and more.

Ana said about the album:

I wanted a more organic feeling this time, less of computer programming. To reach that we for instance use a lot of odd, old instruments. Some inspiration obviously comes from vintage American rock/grunge. But we still wanted to keep the Swedish "flavour."

We really wanted an overall album feeling this time. In the dynamics, in the song sequencing, in the cover graphics, etc. I really think we’ve fulfilled these ambitions.

This is really extraordinary since I spent all my life working the slopes. I was a semi-professional snowboarder in the Rocky Mountains in the late 90's and it was excellent that some of my promotion tours around "We Are" could be combined with skiing.


"Catch Me If You Can" is the official theme of the 2007 Alpine World Ski Championships. Johnsson has also performed in Åre on February 2 and 3, the first taw days of the Championships. Skiing was also prominently shown throughout the music video for this song. It also received lots of downloads on the official World Ski Championships site.
