On 9 July 2012, Tkautz released a 1 minute, 30 second promotional video for the album, composed of video clips from throughout her career to the music of "Something About You".[4]

Throughout August, Tkautz performed a number of tracks live on TV in early August 2012, including "Sexy (Is the Word)" on ‘’The Morning Show’’ on 7 August and "Read My Lips" on ‘’The Late News’’ on 10 August. .[5]

Tkautz toured the album across Australia in late 2012.[6][7] “A lot of my older tracks are quite poppy and I find this is very much up with the times in terms of what is going on in the clubs,” Melissa says.[8]
