"How Do You Get That Lonely" was issued as the second single from the Off to Join the World album. This song became the highest-charting song of Larsen's career, reaching number 18 on the country charts and number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. Finally, in mid-2005, "The Best Man" was released as the third single, peaking at number 36 on the country charts.
