The first single from the album (and also their Japanese debut single) is a Japanese version of the song "Muzik".

It ranked at number 12 in Oricon's Daily Singles chart.[citation needed], 21 in the weekly chart,[citation needed], and sold 8,234 copies.[citation needed] The music video for the song shows the members in a blue room with flashing lights, along with scenes filmed in a red room. It also takes one of the Korean scenes where the members are together wearing the latex leggings.
The second single was a Japanese version of the song "I My Me Mine". It was released on July 28, 2010. It ranked #22 in Oricon Daily singles chart[citation needed] and #26 in Oricon Weekly singles chart[2] with 4,742 copies sold in the first week.[citation needed] It sold a total of 10,945 copies.[citation needed] The single also charted on South Korea's Gaon chart at number 15 overall[citation needed] and number 3 on the international chart.[citation needed]
The third and last single from the album was "First/Dreams Come True", their first double A-side single. It was released on October 27, 2010 and ranked no. 28 in Oricon's Weekly singles chart.[3] The single also included the song "Highlight" from Hit Your Heart.
