"My Truth" premiered on the Torget.se website, where three songs were uploaded daily beginning on 14 May 1999. The album was released three days later (on 17 May) by BMG Sweden. The label held back on releasing the album abroad until they could present a "success story" to international distributors. "My Truth" debuted at number two on the Swedish albums chart and was certified gold by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF), for sales of 40,000 copies on 18 May—the day after its release. The album sold 50,000 copies in its first four weeks, and remained on the album chart for 27 non-consecutive weeks (11 of them in the top 10). On 1 October 1999, "My Truth" was certified platinum by the GLF for sales of 80,000 copies. In 2001, "Billboard" reported that the album had sold over 130,000 copies in Sweden.
