One day after the release of the album and music video, Starship Entertainment made some changes in the choreography of the title song "So Cool" to avoid controversies. The song "Girls Do It" was deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to a seemingly-offensive line. "Girls Do It" was set for the album's fifth single, however due to the controversy that followed the track, promotions were cancelled. The girls released "Hot Place" in its place.
"Push Push" is Sistar's debut single, released on June 3, 2010. The official music video was unveiled on the same day. The song was written and produced by Brave Brothers, as were the two B-sides, "Here We Come" and "Oh Baby". "Push Push" was first performed on Music Bank on June 4. The single debuted at number 9 on South Korea's Gaon Singles Chart, and it reached number 59 on the Gaon 2010 digital yearly charts with 1,779,327 copies sold.
