The album was released in three different editions: CD & DVD Limited Press Edition, CD Edition (mu-mo Version), and the Regular CD Edition. The CD & DVD Limited Press Edition contains the CD album, and a DVD containing the music video for Heaven, two music videos for Shh (the regular music video and a Dance edit music video) and group performances from the Play Girlz Japan Fan Meeting 2013 at Shinkiba Studio Coast show including "Diva", "Flashback, "Heaven", "Crazy Driver" and "Slow Love".[citation needed]
