It was produced with the help of Maurizio Nari and Ronnie Milani, matching the saxophone hook/riff from "Calabria" to Crystal Waters's voice. "Destination Calabria" was released as a 12 inch single on December 4, 2006 by Italian label Rise Records, and as a CD single, on 19 March 2007, by British label Data Records.

Music video
The music video is directed by Eran "Rani" Creevy, produced by Ben Pugh for Ministry of Sound and choreographed by David Leighton. It features female dancers in highly sexualized green marching band costumes, pretending to play various instruments in a seductive manner, and dancing inside an infinity cove. In some scenes, seemingly hundreds of the dancers are seen at once, but these are simply the original eight replicated many times using digital imagery.
Waters herself does not appear in the video, with some of the marching band members miming her lyrics.
