The Target deluxe edition of the album features four bonus tracks: an acoustic version of "Streets of Philadelphia," and three live tracks: "The Fighter," "You Found Me" and "How to Save a Life."
"The Fray is a dynamic, unique rock band and the live sound of this album is really spectacular," said John Butcher, vice president of Entertainment, Target. "We are proud of this partnership, especially because it gives fans of The Fray exclusive live and acoustic tracks they can't get anywhere else."

The release of their second single, "How to Save a Life," brought the band worldwide fame and ranked as a top three single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was also a top five single in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The group broke through in 2005 with the debut of their double platinum album by the same name.
