Prior to its release, the album garnered three singles: the double a-side Tenohira wo Taiyou ni/Delighted,[2] the spring ballad Atarashii Kisetsu e[3] and the summer pop song Baby Runnin' Wild.[4]

As with their previous albums, the album was only released as a standard CD, not carrying a CD+DVD counterpart.[5] Instead, the music videos were later placed on their third compilation DVD Movies 3, which was released three years later on August 6, 2008.[6] Unlike their previous albums, Lead! Heat! Beat! was not given a limited edition version.
