With the band about to start a two-month festival and headlining tour, the first single, "Real Life", was released on August 24, 2022, along with an accompanying music video featuring Dan and his wife Jen. On October 12, the album's title track was released as the second single. The music video features the band playing in an old church with their friends and fans. On the same day, the album title, artwork, and track listing were released. A month later, the third single, "Take the Ride", was released with the music video containing footage from their When We Were Young festival performance the previous month.
On January 17, 2023, the album's fourth single, "War", was released. On February 15, the fifth single, "2005", was released.
