Hayes revealed the album's second single would be "Me, Myself and (I) in a blog entry on 4 August 2007. On 25 September 2007, Darren Hayes revealed his new video for "Me, Myself, and (I)". In addition to this, he released a video for his song "Words" one week prior which features someone's hands performing card tricks and eventually fusing all the cards to form a 2 of Hearts with the Origami crane from the cover of his album in the center of the card.
