The track list was released on March 1, revealing Beam's lead single "96ers", as well as outlining the credits for the EP's three songs.[3] A teaser trailer was released on March 4 featuring a snippet of "Pinocchio" against visuals of intense silhouetted dancing controlled by a hand.[4] Two teasers for the lead single's music video were released on March 8 and 9.[5]

The album was released on March 10, alongside the music video for "96ers".[6] Two days later, a video was released for "Stupid Idiot".[7]
