"Riding the Tiger" was released as the album's first single in the United States in May 1983. The 7" single included an edited version of the song on the A-side and an instrumental version on the B-side.[2] The 12" single included an extended "Dance version" instead.[3] "Riding the Tiger" was also released as a single in the United Kingdom and Germany.
"Why Did You Turn Me On" was the second single and was only released in the United States in September 1983. The album track "Let Somebody Love You" was the B-side.[4]
In 2010, the album was released on compact disc for the first time. Reel Music, an imprint of the Sony Music Entertainment company, oversaw this remastered collection and included a bonus dance re-mix of "Riding the Tiger".
