Canadian release

For some reason, the album was released in Canada with the title The Language of Attraction. The song "Turn Around" was not included on this version, and "Run to Me" (track #9 on the original version) was moved up track #4 in its place. By the time of The Language of Attraction 's release, keyboardist Greg Smith was listed as an official bandmember in the credits, while Paul Antonelli is simply listed as an "additional musical contributor."[2]
