This track became a commercial success, reaching number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topping the charts in Canada and other European nations. Another important cut was The Lucky One, which reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, her rendition of Ti amo, by Umberto Tozzi, was well-received in Australia, peaking at number two, and in Canada, where it charted at number five.

In 2013, an expanded and remastered edition of the album Self Control was released.
