The album had a complete revamp with 6 new tracks and a few tracks removed and new artwork for the re-release later named (Not That Kinda Girl-Ultra Edition) the album was released with Elite Records after the closure of Kelly's first record label Plat'num Records.

After completing the tour Kelly promoted the single and album, the double A side single was also a success for Kelly peaking at 11 in the singles chart and bringing the album back into the top 40.
