The album's lead single, "I Believe", peaked at No. 11 in the UK, and reached the top ten in Australia.

A live album, Without Medication Plus MTV "Buzz Live" was released promotionally in Japan the same year.

The same year, she released Demoz, a double-CD collection of demos through her website. Her fourth studio album Dancing Madly Sideways was released in the same fashion, and thus did not chart in any territories.
