Singles

"+ Se Thelo"

The lead single of the album titled "+ Se Thelo" (Kai Se Thelo; And I want you) was released in July 2008 as a digital download. It is a dance song composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos and was first presented live by Rouvas on June 17, 2008 at the MAD Video Music Awards 2008. The performance featured complex choreography and lighting, as well as an overall Japanese inspired theme on the background video screen and with the dancers' costumes. Footage from the performance was later used for the official video clip of the song. After its digital release, the song became a dance hit and has reached number one on the Greek airplay charts as well as the Greek iTunes chart for many weeks.

"Irthes"

The second single, and title track of the album, is the ballad "Irthes", not to be confused with the same named electropop track of the previous album Iparhi Agapi Edo. "Irthes" was released to radio stations on November 20, 2008, and has music by Dimitris Kontopoulos with lyrics by Yiannis Doxas. The song became a moderate hit, peaking at number 18 on the Greek Airplay Chart, however, it is one of Rouvas' lower charting songs. The first music video, directed by Kostas Kapetanidis, premiered two days later and features Rouvas singing in front of a microphone in the studio. A second, more sophisticated music video was released shortly after, directed by La Boo, portraying Rouvas on a dark rural road running away from a woman who is slowly approaching him in a car. The driver shifts into high gear to run him over, although Rouvas super-physically performs a backward flip while propelling himself off the car in midair, thus landing securely behind the car feet-first and fully intact. The driver then turns around and once again chases Rouvas.

"This Is Our Night"

The third single from the album and the first released after the re-release is Rouvas' Eurovision Song Contest 2009 entry "This Is Our Night". The song peaked at number one on the Greek Airplay Chart and Greek/International Airplay Chart and for three and two consecutive weeks, respectively; it remained in the top 10 of the former for 10 weeks.

"Ksehna To Prin Kai To Meta"

The final single from the album is "Ksehna To Prin Kai To Meta". The music video will premiere on MAD TV in September.
