Promotion
editSingles
edit"Nasty" serves as the lead single from the album and it was released on April 12, 2024. The release date coincided with her performance at the 2024 Coachella Music Festival. In late April, a Twitter user posted a video with the song behind a video of a man and woman dancing together. The video went viral across Twitter and TikTok, to which Tinashe herself recreated the video, causing the song to gain traction on both apps.[3] The song's popularity gradually increased and resulted in the song entering the Billboard Hot 100 at number 90 on June 15, 2024. Three weeks later, the song peaked at number 61.[4] The song has also since peaked at number 18 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs,[5] becoming Tinashe's first entry on the Hot 100 since her 2016 collaboration with Britney Spears on "Slumber Party". It also marked her fifth entry overall, and her first entry as an independent artist.
"Getting No Sleep" serves as the second single and was released on June 28, 2024. It was reviewed in Billboard's article, "Queer Jams of the Week". The article reads, "Over a skittering beat and cool synth chords, Tinashe confidently lets her lover know that after a long work week, she's ready to stay up 'til dawn with them. It's might be a long night, but don't worry, you'll have Tinashe's excellent new track to keep you company."[6]
