Background
editThe song "Eye of the Storm" was written and composed by Tarja, Anders Wollbeck, and Mattias Lindblom. It was originally written for Tarja's album Colours in the Dark, but was later scrapped. In 2022, it was announced to be the first single released for Tarja's upcoming compilation album, Best of: Living the Dream. Tarja stated about the song:
It was the right time to finally release this song. It has a very deep feeling of closure in it. It’s been influenced by two very important countries in my life: Finland and Argentina. It’s an internal battle inside of me. Because at that time in life, I was really searching for my place in this world, where I belong as a person, as an individual.[5]
