"Supernova" was premiered on 13 May 2009, on Zane Lowe BBC Radio Show and then released through Mr Hudson's and Kanye West's blogs.[1] The song was later remixed by Calvin Harris in a more electronic fashion. After being officially released as a single on 19 July 2009, it promptly debuted high on European charts.

The music video for "Supernova" was shot in both London and Los Angeles, California. It was directed by French duo Jonas & François and released on 30 June 2009.
