Singles[edit]
'Cottonmouth' was Sparro's first single from the album, released one year before the album, on 10 June 2007.[1]
'Black and Gold' was the second single from the album, meant to act as a lead single for the album's release soon there after. The song went on to become a hit in the U.K., as well as in several other countries worldwide. It entered the UK Singles Chart at #23 and went on to peak at #2 for three non-consecutive weeks. The song also went on the peak at #4 in both Australia and Norway, #5 in Ireland, Europe, and Turkey, and #8 on the US BillboardDance Charts.
'Too Many Questions' was released in New Zealand, to the country's iTunes store on 21 June 2008.[2] It is unclear if the song was ever supposed to have been an international release or not, but if it was to have been, its release was cancelled.
'21st Century Life' was the third single from the album to be released internationally (fourth single in New Zealand). It was not as successful as 'Black and Gold', however, it peaked just outside the top 40 at #42 in Australia, and at #44 in the UK.
'Pocket' was the fourth single (fifth single in New Zealand), as announced in an interview with Popjustice,[12] but its release was halted before it could reach the UK or US. However, it peaked at #33 on the Australian Airplay Chart. 'Pocket' was released to iTunes in Australia on 13 December 2008.[4]
