"Hey Girl" was the follow-up single; the video was banned on some networks due to its sexual imagery, although Lee said that it was the same as her first video and therefore she did not see why this had to be banned.

Originally, "Eve, Sleeping in Paradise" was intended to serve as the second single for the album.
