It seems in-artfully worded but probably means this:
a short record or CD featuring one main one song or track.
So Settle Down is the first single to be released from the complete album.

In the old days, a single was a 45 rpm vinyl record having one song on each side, the A side and the B side. The best song on an album, a much larger 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record, was pressed as the A side of a single to be sold as such, with the B side often being of little value. The A side was expected to be played on the radio, and copies of the single were sent to the radio stations.
