Polish editions
In Poland, Perła was originally released as a two-CD set, with Polish-language songs on the first disc, and English-language tracks on the second disc. Most English songs were written by Tracy Ackerman, Andy Watkins and Paul Wilson, and produced by a British music production team Absolute. Górniak also recorded Polish versions of "The Story So Far" and "The Day Before the Rain", titled "Perła" and "Słowa jak motyle", respectively.
One year later, Perła was re-released as a special edition with new songs and remixes. The first CD featured ballads, and the second-one uptempo songs. The new tracks included Absolute-produced international single "Impossible" and "Talk to Me", and also "Calling You" and "Don't You Know You" produced by Andy Duncan. The album also included remixes of "Impossible" and "Perła", and an extended version of "Sleep with Me". "Cross My Heart" was retitled "X My Heart". However, four songs were excluded from the re-released album: "If You Could", "The Day Before the Rain", "Prezenty" and the original version of "Perła".
