==Single releases== "[[I've Been Losing You]]" was the first single from the album. It reached number one in Norway and number eight in the United Kingdom. "I've Been Losing You" became the most commercially successful single from the album in Europe. "[[Cry Wolf (A-ha song)|Cry Wolf]]" was the second single from the album. It was the most successful single from the album in the United States, where it peaked at number 14 on the [[Hot Dance Music/Club Play]] chart, and at number 50 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. It was the band's last entry on the latter chart. The single reached the top 40 nearly everywhere else it was released, including top-five chartings in the United Kingdom, Poland and Ireland, reaching number two in Norway. (The lyrics "Night I left the city I dreamt of a Wolf..." are credited to Lauren Savoy whom [[Paul Waaktaar-Savoy|PΓ₯l]] later married). "Maybe, Maybe" was the third single released from the album, but was released solely in Bolivia.<ref>Discogs entry for 'Maybe Maybe' single release in Bolivia, 1986. https://www.discogs.com/a-ha-Maybe-Maybe/release/13062298</ref> "[[Manhattan Skyline (song)|Manhattan Skyline]]" was the fourth and final single released from the long-player, reaching #13 on the United Kingdom's chart. The song was co-written by keyboardist [[Magne Furuholmen]] and guitarist [[Paul Waaktaar-Savoy]]. The song starts with a calm verse in [[F major]], before kicking into a hard rock-style chorus with a guitar riff in [[D minor]]. In the official A-ha biography, ''The Swing of Things'', Furuholmen said it was "perhaps one of the most inspired cut and paste-projects that Paul and I did. I wrote the quiet part. Paul wrote the rock part."<ref name="discography">{{cite web|url=http://forum.A-ha.com/thenewsite/disco.php/video-manhattan.html |title=A-ha.com: discography/videos/manhattan skyline |access-date=2 April 2006 |work=A-ha.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060618181033/http://forum.a-ha.com/thenewsite/disco.php/video-manhattan.html |archive-date=18 June 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
