In her autobiography, released in 2000, Geyer wrote she was unhappy with the mixing of Winner and the lack of support from her American label, Polydor Records.[3] She negotiated a release from her contract, brought the album tapes back to Australia where it was remixed and released.[3] Geyer referred to the album as "a bit of a loser".[3]
