Singles
The lead single of the album is Falling, a rather dark song in terms of background, but with a powerful rhythm of electropop and rap. Falling was released as the lead single on May 1, 2014, and its music video came out the next day. Falling was already confirmed as the first single since the album was announced in January 2014, but nothing was revealed about the song until its release.

The second single is Alone in the Dark, released as a single on August 17, 2014. It is a song that also uses electropop and trap rhythms a lot, and is darker than Falling, but according to Max: it had already been decided that this song would be a single.

In September 2014, the song Floating was released as a promotional single, this because the Rolv team wanted to release a "happier" song for the fans.

The third single is Magic, and it was released as a single on September 29, 2014. It is a much more cheerful and fanciful song, with pop and dance rhythms.

The fourth and final single released was Away, a song with dark lyrics, but including bubblegum pop and electropop rhythms.

Demos

 * The first song that was leaked was the discarded song "Party ends at the 11", the song that inspired "The End" and "11 PM". It was leaked on January 10, 2014.
 * A little snippet from a second demo of "Party ends at the 11" was leaked days later. Then Max expressed annoyance saying: "that song would not appear in the final album, since they had improved it"

Trivia

 * Max and Lukas confirmed Artpop by Lady Gaga and its experimental electropop rhythms influenced the album, and they joked that "(Blind Fantasy) is like a very dark electropop Artpop"
 * Alan Karrel said "The End" and "11 PM" have such similar Plot lyrics because they were created from a discarded song called "Party ends at the 11"
 * Both "The End" and "11 PM" were considered to be the final song on the album.
