Singles

The lead single "Air It All Out" was released digitally on 17 October 2014. Co-written by Paulini in New York, she explained that "the song is about letting go of negativity, doubt and fear – breathing in and exhaling positivity and purpose." The music video for "Air It All Out" was released on 27 October 2014. "By My Side" was released digitally as the album's second single on 15 May 2015. Paulini stated that the song is lyrically "about my journey over the past few years and coming into my skin after a struggle to find my voice, my artistry and above all, loving myself with the help of loved ones by my side." The music video was directed by Josef J. Weber and released in May 2015. Both "Air It All Out" and "By My Side" failed to make any significant impact on the ARIA charts.
