The trailer for the album was first released on May 13, 2016.

The song does not appear on either the standard or deluxe versions of the album but does appear in the tour.
On March 21, 2017, Hall released a deluxe version of the visual album on YouTube as well as iTunes, featuring 4 songs from the Straight Outta Oz Tour that were not present on the album, as well as re-recorded versions of other songs. This album also included the song "Blah Blah Blah" present in the original version of the video, but not on the original album. It also includes a remix of Todrick's previous 2015 single "Low" with new vocals from RuPaul.
Behind the Curtain, a documentary film about the making of Straight Outta Oz, was released in select theaters on December 6 and 13, 2017. It was released for digital download and on Netflix on December 12.[4] A trailer for it was played prior to the opening of Hall's concerts in 2017.
