Overview
editLike its predecessor, Jaya's effort is a collection of cover songs composed of classic love ballads written and performed by international recording artists.
In this 14-track album, Jaya renders her own versions of carefully selected songs that tell stories of life, love, and all its other intricacies. Jaya wanted to sing some of her personal favorite songs. She cited two songs—"I Won't Last a Day Without You" and "All of My Life".[citation needed]
