To coincide with the release of the single, they launched a nationwide competition in which they asked fans to videotape themselves performing their own trick, and post it to YouTube.[25] In keeping with the spirit of fan involvement, Amy Meredith provided fans with the chorus lyrics for the second single from the second album, Fun,[26] and asked fans to submit a YouTube video of themselves singing the lines to the backing track.
