The song became her second most successful single of her solo career, behind Luckett's debut single "Torn." While a music video was not initially released to promote the single, "Regret" quickly moved up the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It eventually peaked at number 8,[3] becoming Luckett's fourth top twenty hit on that chart. It also peaked at number 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4] A music video, directed by Parris Maritn, is set in Los Angeles and co-stars model Sean Newman.

"Regret" premiered on BET's 106 & Park on November 11, 2009. It was ranked at number 23 on BET: Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.
