Singles

"Lost in Translation" was released on September 8, 2015 as the lead single off the album.[4] The song failed to enter the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, becoming their first single to miss the chart since it was established in 2007. It has, however, impacted the Canada CHR/Top 40 and Canada Hot AC airplay charts monitored by Billboard through Nielsen BDS Radio.

The title track, "Hello", was released October 9, 2015 as the second official single.[6] It was promoted to Canadian adult contemporary radio in lieu of "Lost in Translation" as the lead single for that format.

"Lose Control" was serviced to Canadian radio on March 4, 2016 as the album's third official single.[7]^{[non-primary source needed]}

"Can't Slow Down" was released to iTunes on October 2, 2015 as the first promotional single off the album.[8] An official audio visualizer was uploaded to the band's Vevo account on the same day.[9] In August 2016 it was serviced to radio as the record's fourth official single.[10]^{[non-primary source needed]}
