The debut and lead single, called "Some Way" featuring Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, was released as a digital download on February 25, 2017. The song gained traction due to the content of the Weeknd's lyrics, which were widely interpreted as being aimed at prepped Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, regarding their ongoing feud.{{cite web|url=http://www.spin.com/2017/02/the-weeknd-justin-bieber-selena-gomez-diss/|title=The Weeknd Has Now Maybe Dissed Justin Bieber Over Selena Gomez|work=Spin|last=Josephs|first=Brian|date=February 15, 2017|accessdate=February 26, 2017}}
