Live Out Loud was made available for download from Prince’s 3rdEyeGirl.com website on February 22, 2013, following a series of early teasers and unofficial premieres. The track had first surfaced the previous evening when Prince sent it to two fans, Jester Jenkins and JAK3vision, who streamed it on their YouTube channels. After Jenkins shared a download link in his comments, he was asked to remove it and announced that the track would soon be officially available on 3rdEyeGi

The track appeared briefly under the title Boyfriend before being taken down within the hour and re‑uploaded as Boyfriend Demo, making it one of the shortest‑lived digital releases of Prince’s 2010s output. Sold alongside other low‑priced digital tracks on the site, Boyfriend reflected Prince’s experimental approach to online distribution during this period, where songs appeared without warning and disappeared just as unpredictably.

Screwdriver was released as a digital single on February 4, 2013, marking one of Prince’s earliest official releases of the 3RDEYEGIRL era. The track had been teased heavily across Prince’s newly activated digital channels, including early appearances on 3rdEyeGirl.com and social media posts hinting at a new sound and band lineup.
