Background

The band initially scored minor success in the UK Singles Chart with two of their first three singles "Crazy For You" (#44) and "Seventeen" (#44).^[1] They also released "Face to Face", which was later withdrawn from sale by their record label. "Crazy For You" was re-released in the UK entering the UK Singles Chart at #24, and climbing to finally reach a #2 peak selling over 400,000 copies in the process. The success of "Crazy For You" led to a remix of "Seventeen"; the track was unable to match the popularity of "Crazy For You" and peaked at #11. Their debut album entitled Let Loose featuring keyboard player Adam Lee^[2] was released peaking at #20 and selling 60,000 copies. The album release was followed by the single "One Night Stand" which peaked at #12. The final track to be taken from the album was the ballad "Best in Me" which, according to the album sleeve, was recorded in lead singer's Wermerling's bedroom at the age of fifteen. The track became their second UK Top 10 hit, peaking at #8.^[1] The outfit then embarked on a UK tour.
