Set Me Free, Ue La La and La La Love have been released as digital singles / tracks on January 26 (A.M Music productions.)

A new version / mix was made for the contest. This Eurovision version was released on March 26 and replaced the original one in most (all?) digital outlets.

An edited version was released on a digital album Festigal/Sky High, tying in with a kids music festival. (December 20, 2021)

At the festigal Set Me Free was performed live but the album has an 2:02 edit of the single version.

Nine songs were presented (in demo versions by other singers) to select three songs for Eden. Ue La La, Set Me Free and La La Love were chosen to proceed to the final HaShir Shelanu L’Eurovizion 2021 on January 25.

Eden Alene won the 2017/2018 edition of X-factor Israel and released a few digital singles including a coverversion of Brotherhood Of Man's Save Your Kisses For Me, the 1976 Eurovision winner. (Listen to that here)

Eden's Eurovision 2020 song was Feker Libi (My love) written by Doron Medalie and Idan Raichel.
