    After the delayed release of his album, Kygo announced that he would release three promotional singles leading to the release of the album. The first promotional single, "Fragile", was released on 18 March 2016. It is a collaboration with Labrinth.

    The third promotional single, "I'm in Love", featuring vocals from James Vincent McMorrow, was released on 22 April 2016. Its music video was released on 20 May 2016 and served as the follow-up to "Raging".
