'If I Can't Have You, No One Will', which has a duet with Amon Amarth bellower Johan Hegg, was released as the 2nd Single. The 3rd and 4th singles were 'Lift Me Up' and 'It Cuts So Deep' respectfully. Four music videos were produced in promotion for the record's release: 'All For Metal', 'It Cuts So Deep', 'If I Can Not Have - No One Will', and 'Lift Me Up.
When talking about the album Doro explained that:
"We have toured very intensively over the past few years, gathering so many impressions along the way and meeting so many great people. That really inspired me. The songs and ideas literally flooded our minds and this also didn’t stop in the studio. From over 50 song ideas we quickly had 14 songs for an album, then suddenly 20 and in the end, it was 24. Then I decided to also record one more in our last studio week: 'Caruso'."
