Singles

  • "I Gave You Everything" was released in the wake of Code Red's participation in the 1996 Great British Song Contest, in which they came second. This was released before the album and wasn't promoted as the lead single from Scarlet.
  • The first single "Can We Talk" was originally sung by Tevin Campbell. Code Red's single was released in 1997 to European and Asian markets. The song became a modest hit in Europe, but became a much bigger hit in Asia, reaching number one in that region.
  • "This Is Our Song" was released as the second single, and became one of their signature songs. This soul ballad managed to hit number one in European countries and it also became their biggest hit in Asia, topping the charts for eight weeks.
  • The third and final single was "Is There Someone Out There". It became a modest hit for the group, peaking in the top ten in most European and Asian countries.
  • "We Can Make It" was released as a further single in certain Asian countries. "We Can Make It" featured a different female singer for each major market the album was released in. The Indonesian version of the album featured Alda, whereas the Indian version featured Asha Bhosle.
