The album's content ultimately hurt the airplay of the third single, Afterwards 事後, which deals with sexual pleasure. Several radio stations including RTHK Radio 2 banned this song from their playlist due to its explicit nature. However, Commercial Radio Hong Kong promoted the song on heavy rotation.
