It was released in January 1999, and later released in May 1999. The Singapore edition included the "Toy-Box Space Trap" video game for the PC.

The artwork resembles to the layout of European PlayStation games.

Toy-Box videos[]

Toy-Box released music videos for "The Sailor-Song", "Best Friend", "Tarzan & Jane", and "Teddybear." Most of Toy-Box's videos could be considered cartoonish, but "Teddybear" is a more realistic video. While "Best Friend" features Amir El-Falaki and Aneela Mirza having a neon sword fight and turning into little fuzz balls, "The Sailor Song" showed several men flying off a boat, and "Tarzan and Jane" featured live monkeys and elephants in a cartoon parody, "Teddy Bear" is set in Paris and showed Amir and Aneela in a more romantic way than the other videos.

Commercial performance[]

As of August 1999, the album has reached worldwide sales of 300,000 sold copies, with 80,000 units sold in Denmark.[2]
