A promotion-only version of the album packaged with its commercial release included a bonus DVD featuring interviews with Leona and footage of the recording sessions. The package also included a heart-shaped metal locket, a pressed leaf and a pencil sketch of Leona. The main album is also part of the package although a slightly different master with a different track order.
"Calling" was released as a single from this album. It was announced in December 2006 that "Ballerina" was re-recorded with Tori Amos producing and providing piano for a possible future single release.
