While Milian worked with Cool & Dre on the majority of the production of the album, the project was finished with additional help from Rich Harrison and executice producers
Jay-Z and LA Reid.
The record's first single "Say I" featured rapper Young Jeezy and was released in March 2006 as a single and video.
The song made it to number 1 on iTunes UK Music Store and was number 1 on AOL music, but altogether saw moderate success only with peak positions on #21 in the United States, #4 in the UK and #45 in Australia.
While So Amazin' failed to reach the top 10 when it debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the album saw minor international success only, peaking at #65 in the UK inter
alia.
With "Gonna Tell Everybody" a second single from the album was chosen, but Island Def Jam neither agreed to film a music video nor booked promotional appearances for Milian to promote the song.
In June 2006, instead, Milian's representative confirmed that she had left the Island Def Jam record label due to "creative differences" - though disappointing album sales have been widely believed to be a factor, since the album sold less then 500,000 worldwide (over 100,000 in United States).

2007 release, and rumored to be titled No Turning Back.
