Singles
"Army of Love" was released worldwide as a promotional single for Kerli's new musical style, which she had dubbed 'Bubble Goth', and album on December 2010. However it remains unclear whether or not the song will be included as a part of Utopia's track-listing, as part of Kerli's second studio album (meant to be released later in 2013) or if the song will even be officially released in such a manner.
Kerli debuted "Zero Gravity" during a performance in Chicago in August 2011 and a demo of the studio version premiered on the Seattle radio station C89.5 on September 2, 2011. "Zero Gravity" was released worldwide as yet another promotional single on March 20th, 2012. Initially, "Zero Gravity" was thought to have been the first official single from Utopia, however, Kerli later announced that it was only a buzz single, like "Army of Love", and that the first official single was still to come. The music video for "Zero Gravity" was released two days later, having drawn much of its inspiration from Sylphs.
"The Lucky Ones" was the song which Kerli announced would act as Utopia's first official single, releasing the song on October 29th, 2012. The official music video for "The Lucky Ones premiered on December 5, 2012 and had been directed by Brian Ziff and Ethan Chancer. Kerli's initial inspiration behind "The Lucky Ones" was about a cancer-scare that she experienced with a friend of her's, after unidentified lumps had been found within his body. Before the first treatment however, the friend's mother uncovered an old x-ray that revealed that the lumps had always been around, and that they appeared to be non-cancerous, and thus Kerli's friend was sent home.
"Can't Control the Kids" is the latest song which Kerli has announced that she plans on releasing. She intends to have a music video for it, however the release of the song as a single, as well as the release of the music video have yet to be determined.
