'''Amy:''' I think so. The label's doing whatever it wants, so it's difficult for me to see what's happening. (laughs) Lost in Paradise is one of my favourite songs of the album, it's good it's been chosen as a single. We'll definitely shoot a video for it. When, finally, we'l be home again for five, six weeks, we'll find the time to do it. For me a single is not a proper one until there's its recorded video.

Amy: I think so. The label's doing whatever it wants, so it's difficult for me to see what's happening. (laughs) Lost in Paradise is one of my favourite songs of the record, it's good it's been chosen as a single. We'll definitely shoot a video for it. When, finally, we'll be home again for five, six weeks, we'll find the time to do it. For me a single is not a proper one until there's its recorded video.

Q: In the single a live version of the old ballad "My Immortal" was added...

Amy: That was not me! I've never agreed to this choice, it was decided by the label.

Q: So you were against it?

Amy: Yes, I'd never pay something for a single featuring the single song only. I would've focused on new music. Recently, they don't ask me if I can release them or not. Simply, they release whatever shit they want.

That's why I know few things about this single, but I hope it'll have the chance to estabilish. No, I don't hope, I'll ensure this song will get the attention it deserves.[1]
