A thirty-seconds clip of "Strictly Physical" was previewed on 27 August 2007 on the band's official website, and by 3 September the full track had leaked to the Internet via radio.
Music video
The music video for "Strictly Physical" was filmed between 27–29 August 2007 in Germany. It premiered on the band's official website on 12 September and made its television debut the following day on German music network VIVA's show VIVA Live.
At the beginning of the video, Bahar Kızıl, who is standing in front of a mirrow, Senna Guemmour, who is lying on a bed, and Mandy Capristo, who is sitting on a chair, are posing for a photographer in a photoshoot. They are dressed in light colored clothing, mostly white. The girls show discontent with the photos and storm out, leaving the photographer behind. In the following scenes they travel to what is presumably a boxing ring or gym. They are now shown dressed in male clothing. Monrose changes the roles, acting as three photographers with three men. Intercut with these plots are shots of the three women dressed in black and red latex outfits.
