Singles

The first buzz single was originally scheduled to be "Ringtone" which featured additional production by Timbaland and leaked via the internet in June 2010. [10] Because of its leak the song was scrapped as a single choice and "I Do" was released instead on July 13, 2010. The album's lead single is Make a Movie. It was released on August 24, 2010. The single originally featured R&B singer T-Pain rather than Chris Brown (both of whom made a song together), but was changed due to sample clearance.
