A music video for the promotional song "Trapper of the Year" featuring Jay Midge was released on to YouTube on 27 August 2016 on the Ice City TV channel, garnering 13 million views. The lead single, "High Roller" featuring J Hus, was released for digital download on 3 February 2017, including its music video.[2]
Commercial performance
One Foot Out entered and peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Nines' first chart entry.
