History of origin

From 2001, remixers , such as Pet Shop Boys , Orange Factory, Peter Rauhofer and Danny Tenaglia, mixed different songs by Yoko Ono, making sure that the remixes are "danceable" and can be used in discos. During the mixes, the original instrumentation was often supplemented or even replaced by new instrumentation. The name Yoko Ono was shortened to ONO. By 2015, Yoko Ono had a total of eleven number one hits and five other top ten hits on the Billboard dance charts .

For the album Yes, I'm a Witch , which was released in 2007, the principle was retained. The artists listed under the title list only used the vocals of Yoko Ono and produced the music. The album not only contains dance remixes, but also ballads and pop- oriented songs. Nine years later the album Yes, I'm a Witch Too followed , which followed this principle, but is clearly more pop-oriented. In addition to Yoko Ono, Rob Stevens was again a producer, who has been working with Ono since the musical album New York Rock , which was released in 1994 . The reworking of the Yoko Ono songs on this album was also made by musical companions and older artists: Jack Douglas , who produced the album Double Fantasy in 1980 , Sean Lennon , the son of Yoko Ono and the music group Cibo Matto, with Sean Lennon between 1997 and 2000 was a member and of which member Yuka Honda is the co-producer of the last two studio albums by Yoko Ono. The Sparks are a duo that had their greatest commercial successes in the 1970s.

The release date of the album was around Yoko Ono's 83rd birthday. In March 2016, the album was also released as a vinyl double long-playing record.
