During 2008 and 2009, Emilia climbed the charts in Australia and Spain,[4] which led to attention in media and concerts around the world.

The Richard Vission remix of the song "Pick me up" was released during spring 2010 and spent several weeks at the Billboard dance chart, with the highest ranking at 25th place.

During the autumn 2010 the single "This ain’t a love song" was initially released in Australia and Japan. The song is a cooperation between Emilia and the Japanese hip-hop star Verbal (Teriyaki Boyz, M-flo).
