For the album, Cher collaborated with several musicians including Stargate, Chicane and previous collaborator Mark Taylor. She said she felt lucky for having a chance to have "great songs and great producers" for the album. Cher said her favorite song slated for the album was a cover version of "When the Money's Gone", written by Bruce Roberts, stating it was "so perfect" for her. "It's about this person who's her lover, 'If I lose all my money, will you still love me if we have to eat fast food out of a beat up car?'. It's so dance. It's so gay. It's so good", she said. The album cover, photographed by Michael Lavine, was revealed through Cher official website on October 8, 2001. It depicts Cher wearing a "flowing" blond wig in contrast to her all-black, medieval-like outfit. "The Dallas Morning News" commented that "even with a pensive look on her exquisitely snipped and tucked face, she commands attention".
