single release
Promotional song drop
A single release is a song issued separately from an album, typically to promote an upcoming record or stand alone as an independent work.
In the streaming era, singles often drop weeks before an album to build anticipation: The band put out three single releases before the full album dropped.
The term distinguishes individual tracks from EPs or LPs.
