The first single released from the album was "Army of Lovers", released on July 24, 2005 in the United Kingdom and Europe. The song was a success in the United Kingdom where it reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and it was also a huge success in Italy where the song spend four consecutive weeks on the top of the Italian Singles Chart.

The second single released was "Turn Your Car Around", which was released on October 10, 2005 in the United Kingdom and Europe. The single was less successful than its predecesor, only managing to peak at #12 on the UK Singles Chart. However, in Italy the song was another success for the single, which reached #2 on the Singles Chart. "Turn Your Car Around" was a European Top 20 hit.

The third single lifted from Lee's dèbut-album was the Pop-Soul track "When I Think of You", and was released on January 30, 2006 only in the United Kingdom. The single was a commercial disappointment, peaking only at #15 on the UK Top 75, before dropping of the Top 40 the following week. His label, Sony BMG decided to stop the promotion of the album, and cancel the release of further singles.

"Real Love" was the fourth single taken, and was released throughout the world to little enthusiasm, though the track did receive attention not only in the UK and Italy but in the United States and Australia for its use in the film Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, which later led to Ryan voicing a part in the film. This single was not released in the United Kingdom.
