With the exception of "You're the Only One", all tracks are listed as a "US album version", although only the songs taken from Another Phase were re-recorded.

There are several versions of the album. The version released in Norway has the same standard track listing, but with the album art and photos of her previous album Mellow. The US, European, Mexican, Australian, and South African versions have the new artwork. The Indonesian cassette has the Mellow artwork. The Target exclusive edition has two bonus tracks, and a bonus DVD containing the music video to "You're The Only One", and an interview with Mena talking about the making of the album.
