This album came to Tarja as an idea for a big surprise and gift to her fans containing material recorded but not being included on the main album. She explained: "During the long process of recording the songs for my new studio album ‘The Shadow Self’, I realised that there were so many tracks... ...for just one album. So this time I decided to keep nothing for myself and to share all my favourite new songs with you, the fans, who have shown such passionate and constant support."[7]
On 14 April 2016, earMUSIC released a trailer for the video, "No Bitter End".[8] The whole video was released on 20 April.
On 27 May 2016, Tarja announced the full-length album was available for streaming on Apple Music.
