Recording sessions for the album took place during 2007 to 2009 at several recording studios, and Dr. Dre, Mark Batson, and Eminem handled production.

Now that Ms Springfield, the most important British female vocalist of the pop era, has passed away, completism sets in. You must have everything, and you must have everything on every single format, on each compilation, from any place in the world. Here comes Blue For You, a compilation from Australia that puts together some helpful bits and bobs for the obsessive fan. Not all-encompassing, this collection does have it's strong points--although it misses out on her debut solo single "I Only Want To Be With You", it includes her incredible reading of the Burt Bacharach classic "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", and, interestingly, the B-side to that single--"My Colouring Book". The collection leaps around the years--at one point landing in 1970 for her duet with Tom Springfield, "Morning Please Don't Come"--but if you want to have everything, you can excuse the erratic nature to hear some immaculate vocal talent. -- Charlie Porter

Элла Фицджеральд не получила музыкального образования, она ни разу в жизни не посетила урок пения и ей не нужно было распеваться перед выступлениями[48]. Она обладала меццо-сопрано, но могла петь как выше, так и ниже. Диапазон её голоса составлял три октавы: от ре-бемоль малой октавы до ре-бемоль третьей октавы.
Американский писатель, журналист и музыкальный критик Уилл Фридуолд писал, что в отличие от многих других певцов Элла Фицджеральд обладала поистине уникальным и ценным голосом, звучание которого можно было бы назвать самым красивым и идеальным среди тех, которые когда-либо слышал человек.

It is the more mainstream oriented album of the German singer to date, thanks to the production of Jack Ponti (Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Baton Rouge) and the collaboration of musicians and authors coming from pop, country and even Latin music. The lyrics break new ground for Doro, as many of the songs deal with erotic themes. The last track is a remix done by members of the German industrial metal band Die Krupps, who worked with Doro in her next albums. The limited edition of the album contains the bonus track "Tie Me Up (Hard & Fast mix)".

Fight is the first Doro album since Force Majeure to be produced with a strong contribution from the members of the band that accompanied the German singer on her tours. Nick Douglas, Joe Taylor and Johnny Dee had toured with Doro for more than ten years, while Oliver Palotai replaced Mario Parillo after his demise in 2001.
