The second single to come from the album was "Condition of My Heart", a ballad written by Brian McKnight and very unlike their previous singles.

After the game ends, the duo drives down the Golden Gate bridge in a sports car. In August 2022, the video was remastered and uploaded to SM's official YouTube channel.
