Singles

[edit]
  • "Love Is Like A Song" was released as Pakarinen's winner's song after she was crowned as the first Finnish Idol in January 2004. The single debuted at number one on the official Finnish chart, a position it held for four weeks. It spent eleven weeks in the top 10 and was certified gold for the sale of 5,000 units.[3]
  • "Fearless" was released as a promotional single ahead of the album's release and as a result did not reach the Finnish singles chart.
  • "How Can I Miss You?" was released as the third single from the album. Like its predecessor, it was released for promotional purposes only, though it was accompanied by a music video, Pakarinen's first since becoming a recording artist.
  • "When I Become Me", the album's title track was released as the fourth and final single. It was used solely for promotional purposes and did not chart.
