The promotional strategy of Atlantic Records for From the Inside focused on positioning the single "Surrender" as a danceable track, which, thanks to its remixes, allowed it to reach number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. A similar achievement was obtained by the second single, "If That's Love". However, in the United States, the album did not achieve the expected success by Pausini, selling around 33,000 copies according to Nielsen-Soundscan. The singer felt that the promotion by Atlantic Records did not fit her style, as it focused on dance music instead of a more adult audience.
Given the record label's refusal to change the strategy, Pausini decided to pause promotion in that market and return to Italy, leaving the album's development in Europe, where it continued to be promoted for a few months. Years later, in 2011, demos of songs like "For Your Love" and "Kiss Kiss" emerged on the internet. Pausini confirmed that they were test recordings for From the Inside that did not make it to the final version. It is speculated that "Kiss Kiss" was discarded for not entirely fitting her vocal style. In 2016, Pausini would release Laura Xmas, her next album in English.
