Magda composed music and wrote lyrics for all the songs with a number of friends correcting her French lyrics along the way. Lyrics to Caramel, Juin and Japonaise were co-written with Kallia Pantelia and Irini Gonou, on warm afternoons in Naxos with home-harvested wine courtesy of Miltos Pantelias. A couple of phrases in Caramel were brainstormed with Sylvie Bourban, on the piano bench on a wintry night in Boston.
