Commercial Performance

When I Become Me entered the Finnish albums chart at number two in its first week, a position it held for five weeks. It spent a total of seventeen weeks on the chart, nine of which were within the top 3. In its fourth week on the chart it was certified platinum for sales in excess of 30,000.

Singles

  • "Love Is Like A Song" was released as Pakarinen's winner's song after she was crowned as the first Finnish Idol in January 2004. The single debuted at number one on the official Finnish chart, a position it held for four weeks. It spent eleven weeks in the top 10 and was certified gold for the sale of 5,000 units.
  • "Fearless" was released as a promotional single ahead of the album's release and as a result did not reach the Finnish singles chart.
  • "How Can I Miss You?" was released as the third single from the album. Like its predecessor, it was released for promotional purposes only, though it was accompanied by a music video, Pakarinen's first since becoming a recording artist.
  • "When I Become Me", the album's title track was released as the fourth and final single. It was used solely for promotional purposes and did not chart.
