Due to production issues the release was delayed and a new date was confirmed on 22 February 2009 as 9 March 2009. Hayes later confirmed on 9 March 2009 the release was delayed even further. It would later appear on iTunes on 13 March 2009.^[1]

"November" was a track previously performed on Other Voices on RTÉ Television^[2] and "Oliver" appeared on her setlist from May 2008. On 9 March 2009 'Ghost' was made available on her MySpace page as a preview to the EP.
