Milian also appeared in Mýa&apos;s video for &quot;Best of Me&quot; playing a friend. In the meantime Milian co-wrote and provided extensive backing vocals for the track &quot;Play&quot; for Jennifer Lopez&apos;s 2001 album J. Lo which became another success. Milian would later pass down the song to Lopez because of already having a club song with &quot;AM to PM&quot; as promotion.

The success of &quot;AM To PM&quot; sparked the international release of the Christina Milian album which she co-wrote and produced, although not in the United States. The second single &quot;When You Look At Me&quot; was another international hit reaching the top 5 in the UK, Netherlands, and Ireland and making the top 40 in Denmark, Germany, Australia, and France.

In June 2006, instead, Milian&apos;s representative confirmed that she had left the Island Def Jam record label due to &quot;creative differences&quot; - though disappointing album sales were believed to be the main factor, since the album sold less than 500,000 worldwide (over 100,000 in United States).</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Due to the low sales of So Amazin, Milian released her first compilation album, titled The Best of Christina Milian on November 22.
