The song was later released as the first promotional single from the album on July 14, 2017. On May 1, All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell was initially announced for release on August 4. However, on July 18, the release was pushed back to August 25 due to "last minute production tweaks". "Winter" was subsequently released on August 3, 2017, as the second promotional single.
