On 27 May 2008, Hammond released "GfC" on iTunes in the US. The song had already been played extensively live on his 2007 tour, along with "In My Room". A non-album B-side "& So it Goes" was released along with the single.
The title ¿Cómo Te Llama? is Spanish for How does [he/she/it] call you? or, more loosely, "What is your name?". The fact that the title is in Spanish may be a reference of Hammond's mother nationality (she comes from Argentina)
