Background

Voegele first announced plans for a new album in 2008, while promoting her previous album, Don't Look Away. Between this announcement and the album's release, several songs were previewed and released. Three successful promotional singles were released from the album, including Angel, Lift Me Up, and Sweet Silver Lining. After the album's release, several songs from the album (and the album's Deluxe Edition) managed to chart on several Billboard charts in the US.

Promotion

The album was promoted by the Lift Me Up Tour in which Voegele headlined. She also performed songs from the album while opening up for Jordin Sparks on her Battlefield Tour. Several songs from the album were also premiered by Voegele's character Mia Catalano on One Tree Hill.
