It was available in two versions: a standard 13-track edition and an unmarked special edition including a fourteenth track "Hasame Tin Agapi Mas" penned by Giorgos Theofanous and Evi Droutsa. Both releases included the music video of the title track "Doro Theou", due to the video's release prior to the release of the album, and gained gold certification the first month of release.[3]

"Doro Theou" is often considered a dedication to Garbi's son because it was released during her pregnancy, however the album's insert clarifies that the dedication belongs to her husband, Dionisis Schinas, with the lyrics of the title track describing the real-life story of the couple. A translation of the insert reads "Dionisis, this "Doro Theou" is devoted to you, because you know how to make every day of our common life special". Although, it is considered one of Garbi's best albums, it wasn't widely promoted due to Garbi's pregnancy.[4]
