'Video Girl', a track inspired by Twigs' experiences following her appearance in Jessie J's ' Price Tag' music video, was sent to contemporary hit radio in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2014 as the album's third and final single. The self-directed music video for the song premiered on 14 January 2015 and depicts FKA Twigs tied up with her own hair. 'Pendulum' was released digitally as the album's second single on 30 July 2014.

The music video was directed by Nabil Elderkin and premiered on 24 June 2014. The lead single from LP1, ' Two Weeks', was released on 24 June 2014 as a digital download and on 29 July 2014 as a 12-inch single, the latter featuring the song ' Pendulum' as a B-side. Lyrically, LP1 deals with themes of sex, sexual relations and intimacy. Stereogum saw Twigs' music as 'fluid' experimental R&B, while Q saw it as an 'uncanny' fusion of indie R&B with 'nervy' trip hop. It is seen for its ' glitchy futuristic' take on R&B, casting the genre in 'thrilling hyper-real hues'. Indeed, Entertainment Weekly felt that without Twigs' voice, it would be a work of avant-garde electronics. It also dons a large electronic component. On LP1, Twigs expands her avant-pop landscape, yielding 'boundaries-pushing' pop music.
