The lead single from the mixtape, "Present" was released on October 22, 2021. [4]
A.D. Amorosi of Variety called it "a pulsating, minor marvel of economical soul-hop that satisfies all that Khalid fanatics have come to crave - that high dozy warble, those out-of-the-blue hooks - while pushing his new-found exigency (and lower range) into the future." [5]
