Notes

The rights to the song "Torture" were surrendered, allowing Filipino-American duo Rin on the Rox to re-record the song. The song's pop beat rhythm is similar to the pop beat rhythm of Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around... Comes Around".

The first notes to the song "Poison" sound like the intro to Croatian pop legend Duško Lokin's 1978 song "Volim Te" ("I Love You").

The melody of the intro and chorus to the song "One Last Time" sounds like Kenny Rogers' 1978 hit "The Gambler".
