The album's singles included "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex," which peaked at number two in the UK and received a silver certification, and "Funky Dory." In July 2004, she released the single "Some Girls" as a charity record for Sport Relief; its success led to the re-issue of Funky Dory with additional tracks.

After this release, Stevens took an extended break from her music career.
