The third single "Family Van" was released on 20 April 2021, alongside the announcement of the album, and an online video game themed with the song. About the song, Gruntz said "I wrote Family Van after a band ripped one of our songs off. They were bigger than us and we felt powerless."[5] An official PowerPoint Presentation was released too,[6] before the music video on May 11.[7][8] The song went onto peak at No. 32 on the US Mainstream Rock Charts,[9] and at No. 45 in the Canadian Rock Charts.[10]

The final single "2008" was released on 19 May 2021, along with its music video.[11] Gruntz described it as the "most honest moment on the album", and the "most vulnerable Cleopatrick song […] and the song that means the most to me out of anything I've written".[12] After the album's released, they band also released a music video for "Victoria Park".[13][14]
