It was released on 18 March 1998 in Denmark and on 5 May in the U.S., as a self-titled album on Crave Records,[1] with a European release under Sony held around the same time.[2] Remee wrote the lyrics for the album, which was produced by Holger Lagerfeldt. The album was certified gold in Finland[3] and Denmark,[4] and had sold over 15,000 copies in the US by July 1998.[5] By August 2000, it had sold 1.5 million copies worldwide.[6] The album's debut single was "This Is How We Party".
