Background

edit

The album was announced following Aidan's interval performance at Malta's national competition to decide their 2023 Eurovision entry and the release of his single "Reġina" which was disqualified from the competition.[4] The signer posted the front cover of the album on Instagram in February 2023 which featured him in what Malta Daily described as a "pensive look donning a colourful jumper".[4] On 17 March 2023, he revealed the tracklist for the album in a video which included the singles: "Naħseb Fik", "Ritmu", "Rip (Rest in Peace)" and "Reġina".[5] Maltese singer Ira Losco who had collaborated with Aidan on "Rip (Rest in Peace)" commented "Hard work pays off! Well Done!"[5]
