On 1 December, the group made their appearance at Tokyo's FM Hall in Japan, where they successfully concluded their first overseas solo live. Before proceeding with their performances, Lunafly expressed, "We’re very thankful for being able to hold a solo live concert in Japan just two months after our debut and we’re also very nervous. We've prepared a lot." They played a total of six songs for their Japanese fans, and also promised to work hard so they could be more active in Japan.
On 4 December, Lunafly released the music video of second digital single "Clear Day, Cloudy Day". This song was self-composed by the members. "Clear Day, Cloudy Day" delivers a message of hope to those facing difficulties in the current generation.

They also released a teaser image featuring all three members.

Following the full member teaser, they released three more solo teasers for the individual members. They also released a video teaser through their official YouTube account.
On 2 April, the boys released the music video for their title song "Fly To Love", after releasing the full album. The song was, again, composed by the members themselves. The upbeat song expresses the desire to break out from a mundane relationship and go on vacations around the world as a couple. Keeping international fans in mind, the two part album also featured an English version of every Korean track.
They performed their single for the first time at the GOGOS2 club in Hongdae, Seoul later on the same day.
