It was released in Greece and Cyprus on 23 October 2006, by Sony BMG Greece and received gold certification in Greece, selling over 15,000 units. The album is her only album to carry a traditional modern laika genre throughout its complete track listing, and this did not incorporate her past pop and dance stylings which were found to be successful in previous releases. Containing many of her most successful songs, like "Afti", "Pos Allazei O Kairos", "Ta Paidika Sou Matia" and "Isovios Desmos". The album was promoted in some way in the series "7 Thanasimes Petheres" of Mega Channel, where Garbi portrayed the main character of a 3-episode story.
Release
It is her only album to date to carry the RCA Records logo as an imprint, as all of her past releases were under the Columbia imprint. The album did not turn out to be a smash hit for Garbi, but was able to chart for five weeks on the Greek Albums Chart peaking at number 5. It was also certified gold the following year, and its title track has been announced as the 8th most successful Greek airplay track of the 2000s on Alpha's Chart Show Countdown.
