"He's the King" was released ahead of All in One Voice in December 1997. The song was originally used for the German TV series The King of St. Pauli [de].

"Heaven" was released as the second single in 1998. The song was first performed at Melodifestivalen 1997—Sweden's national selection competition for the Eurovision Song Contest—by N-Mix, under the title "Där en ängel hälsat på" (Where an angel has visited in English), where it came 2nd.
