On 12 June 2012, Simpson released Preview to Paradise, a four-song teaser EP. The EP featured the songs "Got Me Good", "So Listen", "Wish U Were Here", and "Gentleman". All of the songs, besides "So Listen" were released as a part of Paradise. Simpson stated the reason behind only having a few collaborations on the album is because "I wanted my debut full length album to be a representation of me."[citation needed] It was released on 28 September 2012.[2]
On 25 May 2012, the lead single, "Got Me Good" was released as a teaser on Simpson's official website and radio. The accompanying music video was released on 5 June.[citation needed]
"Wish U Were Here", which features American musician Becky G, was the second official single off the album, released on 12 June 2012. The music video debuted on 7 August 2012. Four days later, three remixes of the song were released.[citation needed]
"So Listen" was released as a promotional single for Paradise. It features rapper T-Pain. It debuted on Simpson's YouTube channel on 12 March 2012 and was released to iTunes the following day.[citation needed] Simpson stated that the song was not an accurate example of the full album and he only put it on the preview "because my fans like it."[citation needed] The song is included on the Japanese special edition of Paradise.
