Singles

  • "Leave Right Now" was released on 29 October 1997, a video was made featuring the girls at a school singing in the yard and the corridors. It reached #31 on the UK singles chart.
  • "The High Road" was released in January 1998. A video was made which showed the girls in a church and in a street. The video was released onto television but after the song only reached #56 on the charts it was removed two weeks later.
  • "Like That" was released to in May 1998. No video was made and the radio play was limited, so the song reached #121 on the charts.

    • Promotion

    The girls performed "The High Road" on GMTV around the time of the album's release, they also made television appearances on Top of the Pops, Blue Peter BBC News and This Morning.

    International release

    After "Leave Right Now" was released in North America, the album was due to be released in the summer of 1998. However the band split before a release date was determined, and therefore the plans were scrapped.
