ingles

The album's first single "Whine Up" was successful but performed under expectations. The second single was supposed to be "Am I Dreaming" which she shot a music video for, but was scrapped due to the album's performance. Kat DeLuna and producers decided to go with another up tempo song like "Whine Up" so in place of "Am I Dreaming" they released "Run the Show" featuring Busta Rhymes, and Don Omar as the 2nd single.

Re-Release and Removal from iTunes Store

Late in February 2008, the album was silently removed from iTunes. No reason was given, but mostly likely because of the albums re-release. The singles for "Whine Up" and "Run the Show" remain, however.
