The album debuted at number 50 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 9,000 in its first week, but plummeted to number 185 in its second week. Cobra Starship played pre-show on MTV's 2011 Video Music Awards and following their performance, their single "You Make Me Feel..." reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 to become their second top 10 hit at number seven. The band were the opening act for Justin Bieber in October through South America. The third single "#1Night" has sold more than 91,000 downloads to date 2013.

The group's third album, Hot Mess, released in 2009 by Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. It was powered by the smash lead single, "Good Girls Go Bad", which featured Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 with more than 2 million copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. After the success, Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta said of the aftermath of Hot Mess: "That caused me to lose my girlfriend, who I had been with since before Cobra started."
