On March 26, 2018, Smino released the album's final single and music video for "Wild Irish Roses".[12]

Tours

Following the album's release, he headlined in his month-long Swanita Tour, which included 22 dates with guests Monte Booker, Jay2, Bari, and Jean Deaux.[13] Smino and Ravyn Lenae also opened for SZA on the CTRL Tour.[14] During October, he was opening act for T-Pain on his Acoustic Tour, who later appeared on the remix for "Anita" on October 27.[15][16]

He asked for this blessing and now he's asking for help while his blessings."
