Background

[edit]

The album includes all of her greatest hits including "Mr Rock & Roll" and "This Is the Life", plus two new songs, "Woman of the World" and "Come Home"; both songs are included in the film Patrick. Talking about the album, Macdonald said, "I remember the week of the 30th July 2007 – I released my first ever album This Is The Life, and I wasn’t quite sure how I found myself in that position. My album was number 1 in countries I’d never even been to before [...] 10 years later people were still interested. I just felt that after such an incredible journey it was time to look back and feel proud of everything that has happened."[2]
