The album covers a song written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, "You're Just What I Was Looking for Today". Only one song was slated for a single release. This was the Anthony King–written song "Are You Growing Tired of My Love", backed with the Alan Lancaster composition "So Ends Another Life". Released in April 1969, it reached no. 46 on the UK singles charts.
Following the album's disappointing reception, the band released a non-album single – the Everly Brothers' "The Price of Love", also released in September 1969, with the Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt composition "Little Miss Nothing" as the B-side.
