The Hits does not contain two of Lemar's Epic singles, "Don't Give It Up" and "Tick Tock", both of which were remixed from their respective album versions when they were released as singles. These single versions do not appear on any of Lemar's albums. The album also misses out his rare debut single "Got Me Saying Ooh". The album was originally going to be released on 1 March 2010 but it was moved to a week due to a title error which only stated The on both the CD and cover instead of The Hits.

Lemar's official site confirmed that the second single taken from The Hits will be "Coming Home", with a release date of 17 May 2010 currently confirmed.[1]
