[edit] Singles
- "Army of Lovers" - The first single from the album, released on 24 July 2005. The single peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, but found higher success staying at #1 for four weeks in Italy. The single featured an acoustic version of the song, an album sampler, and the video.
- "Turn Your Car Around" - The second single from the album, released on 10 October 2005. The single peaked at #12 on the UK Singles Chart, but found higher success peaking at #2 in Italy and reaching #1 in the European Top 20. The single featured three b-sides: "Best Of You", "These Words (Gold Horizons)" and "Movin' On", and the video.
- "When I Think of You" - The third single from the album, released on 30 January 2006. The single peaked at #15 on the UK Singles Chart, before dropping out of the Top 40 the following week. This resulted in promotion of the album being toned-down and the releases of further singles in the UK cancelled. The single featured a new track, "I Can Let Go Now", an acoustic version of the song, a Radio 2 Live Session of Blue's debut single "All Rise", and the video.
- "Real Love" - The fourth and final single from the album, released on 7 April 2006. The single failed to chart in the UK, however, it found success there, as well as Italy, the United States and Australia, for its use as the lead single from the film Ice Age: The Meltdown. This led to Ryan earning a part in the film. The single featured a new track, "Time To Change The World", a Sharp Boys Club Mix, a Radio Promo Mix, and the video.
