The first single from the album, "What a Feeling", features American singer Irene Cara and is a cover version of her 1983 song "Flashdance... What a Feeling". It was chosen to be on the album in an online poll on DJ BoBo's official website in May 2000, in which fans were asked which successful 1980s song they would like to be covered for his new album. The single reached No. 2 in Switzerland and No. 3 in Germany. The other two singles failed to enter the top ten in both countries.
