Lovers is the third studio album by Finnish singer Hanna Pakarinen, released in Finland by RCA on February 14, 2007. It was preceded by the lead single "Go Go" and also includes the singles "Leave Me Alone" and "Hard Luck Woman". "Leave Me Alone" served as Pakarinen's entry song in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest finals, in which she placed 17th. Following Eurovision, the album was released throughout the rest of Europe on May 23, 2007, becoming Pakarinen's first album to receive a launch outside Finland.
The album peaked at number three on the Finnish albums chart, lower than her previous two albums. However, it spent over twice as long on the chart as her second album Lovers and after selling 15,000[1] copies across Finland, received gold certification.
Lovers debuted at number three in its first week of release, a position it held for a second consecutive week. It spent fifteen weeks on the Finnish albums chart and was accredited gold, with sales to date of 16,163. At its release, the album was Pakarinen's greatest critical success, with this being attributed to several factors, those most notable being Pakarinen's move into a much rockier image, her highly praised appearance in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, and her emergence as a songwriter, co-writing six of the eleven tracks on the album.
