History
Work on the studio album continued for two years (from 2006 to 2008) on the new Burgundy Records label, a subsidiary of Sony Music . Summer also returned to the studio to record the album for the first time in almost ten years, the last album at that time was the 1994 Christmas Spirit collection, and the last studio album was the 1991 Mistaken Identity . Such producers and songwriters as Greg Kerstin , Daniel Brisbois, Jonathan Rotem , Toby Gad, Lester Mendez and Evan Bogart made the record.
The album debuted on the 17th line of the American Billboard 200 chart , which became its peak position. Despite such a start, however, the record went lower and lower in the following weeks, and soon left the chart altogether. The singles from the album also did not have much success, none of the four failed to get into the Billboard Hot 100 . However, all the singles entered the top 20 of the Hot Dance Club Songs chart , and three of them were topped.
