The first single from the album, "April 19th", was released digitally on April 19, 2012.[2]

The album's title track, "Hush", a dance-pop song, was released on May 9, 2012.[3] The song's music video was released on May 8,[4] and a dance practice music video was released on May 14.[5] A Japanese version of "Hush" was later included as a B-side on Apink's Japanese single, "Mr. Chu". The promotions for "Hush" started on May 10, 2012, on Mnet's M! Countdown.[6]

The third single, "Bubibu", was released digitally on July 6, 2012. The single was chosen through an online poll that the group ran through Mnet's website where they asked fans to choose the track for their follow-up promotions. The single version is a remix of the album version.[7] The fourth single, "Cat", was released three days after the third single "Bubibu".
