[edit] Singles

The first single from the album was the most successful single of Elena's career was "Mambo!" which reached number 1 for an amazing 10 weeks in Greece. The single was a Christmas single as well. The single stayed in the charts for 23 weeks (6 months). "Mambo!" is was also released in countries outside Greece, for instance in Sweden it has peaked at number five (#5) and stayed in the chart for 25 weeks. In Belgium, it peaked at number eighteen (#18), being 16 weeks in the chart.

The day the album was released, the second single from the album, "Yparhei Logos," was also released. The song premiered first at the Arion Music Awards in April. The third single was a live performance of "Just Walk Away" at the Mad Secret Concert. The music video for the song was the live performance of it. Both singles were only released in Greece.

The fourth single from the album was "Gigolo". It is unknown whether the single will be a CD single in Greece. It may be a CD single in Greece because "Gigolo" is to be released worldwide and the videoclip is Greeklish which is airing in Greece. The video may have also been filmed all English as well to for the international release. The song has already charted in Sweden and was the second single from the album The Game of Love. It has peaked at number twelve (#11), becoming her second lowest-charting single in the Swedish singles chart, right behind "A Brighter Day", which peaked at number twenty-four (#24) due the fact that it was not promoted in any way.

The fifth single, in Greece, was "An Ihes Erthi Pio Noris." The music video for the song premiered on December 12, 2006 on MAD TV in Greece and features Elena and an invisible water man dancing in a train shed.
