Single Releases
"Wish I Could Fly", the first single, was a sizable hit and was one of the most frequently played songs in Europe during 1999. In the UK the single peaked at #11 on the UK charts, the highest singles chart position for Roxette there since 1993.
The second single to be released from the album was the ballad "Anyone". "Anyone" failed to make any impact on the charts. The controversial video, directed by long-time collaborator Jonas Akerlund, ends with a distressed Fredriksson committing suicide. The video was the banned by MTV, due to the video's sensitive content. The poor chart showing by "Anyone" meant EMI UK decided against releasing the single, even though they had already sent out promo CDs to radio DJs and the media.
The third single from the album was the techno-driven dance number "Stars", which garnered some success in Europe, particularly in Scandinavian countries. The final single from the album was "Salvation", which reached the Top 20 in Finland but little success elsewhere.
