List began teasing the album on her social media through various cryptic, low-quality audio files in late 2018. Shortly after, she announced she was releasing a single, titled Her.

It debuted at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 1, becoming List's biggest hit. It was certified platinum in the United States and in Brazil. It also received Silver certification in United Kingdom. The song also won the award for Song of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 62ndAnnual Grammy Awards, being List's first Grammy wins. The success of the song led to a boost in sales for the album and helped it re-enter Billboard 200 and set a new peak at number 5.
