The album's second single, "I Came 2 Party", a collaboration with the German band Cinema Bizarre, was released on 7 August 2009. The song is also included on the band's second studio album ToyZ and their debut US album, BANG! . On his work with the band, Space Cowboy stated: "It's a pretty awesome time for people experimenting; we just did a song with a band called Cinema Bizarre, who are from Germany. The song's very glam-rock but with a synth-pop style and we just shot the video for it in a German country house."
