"Love House" was released in November 1988 as the album's first single in the United Kingdom, reaching number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. The album's title track served as the first single in the United States, where it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, while it was released as the third and final single in the UK in June 1989, reaching number 63. The album's second UK single, a cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be with You" (retitled "I Only Wanna Be with You"), was released in January 1989 and became Fox's best-performing single in over a year, peaking at number 16 on the UK chart. It was also the second single in the US, where it peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Love House", on its release as the third and final single in the US, failed to reach the top 100.
