  ## Content
  
  Wind of Time is a pop cover album, comprising a collection of selected ballads full of cover versions. It combines a mature pop sound recorded with classical and orchestral elements mixed with alternative and acoustic guitar riffs. The song themes features of sad and dark content, the darkest ever released on a Loona album, due to the dedication to her mother, whom she lost, her professional and personal separation with her then-husband Samuel Bouriah and her sad feelings at that time. Wind of Time is Loona's first album with a track list full of only English titles and almost completely performed in English, unlike on her previous Spanish/English mixed releases. However the only Spanish content on the album is the second verse of "Fragile". The lyrics of "If Only" have slightly been changed. The album features twelve songs, one of them being a remix, the "Pop Version" of "Tears in Heaven".
  
  ## Commercial performance
  
  Both, the single "Tears in Heaven" and the album Wind of Time, didn't gained much promotion and high performances, due to van der Kolk's pregnancy with her first child at that time, her daughter named Saphira Maria, welcomed in 2005. However the single peaked #46 at the German Single Chart respectively. She emotionally performed "Tears In Heaven" at "The Dome" crying and being pregnant.
