"The Arena" and "Don't Let This Feeling Fade" (featuring Rivers Cuomo and Lecrae) were used as official theme songs of the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The Bebe Rexha song "Small Doses" from her 2017 EP All Your Fault: Part 1 samples the violin used in "First Light", which Rexha credited Stirling for on Twitter.[10]
