The album's promotional single, "Suited" was released on 19 July 2017.

Shekhinah speaking on the song:
I would love to ease my audience into my new album, I don’t want to stretch too far from my usual sound. I used bongo drums in the track which I know my fans will relate to and instantly recognise. When I was working on the track I imagined it fitting snuggly into people’s intimate spaces. I could hear the song playing in many kitchens on a sunny afternoon as lovers prepare their favourite meal. I could see soul mates gleaming with joy as they remembered what they were doing the first time they heard it and how they felt.[23]
The music video for the single was released on Shekhinah's Vevo account on 17 August 2017. It was directed by Nate Thomas and has garnered over 3.2 million views on YouTube.[24]
The second single "Please Mr." was released on 9 February 2018. Sony Music later announced on 29 March that the song was certified Gold.[25][26][27]
