Release
After the success of 9 Lives lead single, Whine Up, the album was quickly rushed for release. The album was first released in the United States and Canada, where it simultaneously was released on August 7, 2007 by Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment. The following day, the album received a Japanese release, by Sony Music Japan. Due to DeLuna changing record labels, the album was not released in 2007 in any other territories. However, throughout the spring and summer of 2008, the album was released by Akon's music label Konvict Music. To make way for this edition in the United States, planned for July 29, 2008, the original album was removed from the U.S. and Japanese iTunes Stores. Due to the lackluster performance of "Run the Show", however, the re-release in the US never materialized. The original version remained also in Canada, while the Konvict Music Edition was released across Europe as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Japan (where both versions were released).

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
