"Hot Male" and "Bounce" were featured in an episode of Ugly Betty.

A music video for the track "N.A.D.I.A. O.H." was released on the video-sharing website YouTube.

Singles[]

My Egyptian Lover. was released 22 January 2007 as the first single. It peaked within the top 50 and is still her highest charting single. Something for the Weekend followed over a year later released 8 March 2008 in an EP with Hot Like Wow.[5] Third single, N.A.D.I.A. O.H was released later that month to positive reception from her fans,[6] it was however a buzz track and was never official released aside from being purchasable from the album.[7] Got Your Number, served as the first original single, exclusive to the album and was scheduled to be released in the summer of 2008 yet plans fell through where 'Oh proceeded to record her second studio album. Through iTunes fifth single, Rip It Up, was released 29 February 2012 along with an instrumental track.
