Despite the album's shelving, several promotional music videos from the project were made available to the public. These titles included 'A Cup of Coffee,' 'Diamonds,' 'Long Shot,' and 'It's Okay to Believe.' This period marked a pivotal point in Perry's career, aligning her with a major industry figure known for his work with Alanis Morissette, among others. The release of these music videos provided a glimpse into Perry's evolving style and musical direction. With Ballard's influence, the tracks showcased a blend of pop and rock elements, and highlighted Perry's vocal range and lyrical prowess.
