The 12-track debut album was Triple J’s feature album with local commercial radio supporting all singles resulting in ‘Be Alright’ and ‘7 Minutes’ both reaching #1 on TMN Hottest 100 Airplay Chart with the former remaining there for 8 weeks. The certified platinum-selling single ‘7 Minutes’ and ‘Stay Awake’ were performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while ‘Be Alright’ was performed on Good Morning America and  The Ellen Degeneres Show.
