The lead single, "Mmm Yeah" featuring Pitbull, was released in January 2014 and achieved moderate commercial success. The Secret also includes collaborations with artists such as Becky G on the track "Secret". The EP was released both digitally and physically.

The release of The Secret was followed by promotional appearances and performances by Mahone. The EP generally received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its catchy melodies and production, while others criticized its lyrical content and lack of originality.
