On 11 February 2024, a music video was released for the track "Tempo", serving as the second single. Miach revealed to Journal.hr that it was the last song made for the album. The video features Miach showcasing her taekwando skills.[8] On March 8, she held her first big solo concert at the sold out Tvornica kulture in Zagreb, to promote the album.[9][10]
