Polydor enlisted Brian Higgins and Xenomania to produce Girls Aloud's second album in its entirety, following their production of six tracks from "Sound of the Underground", including the album's three singles, and three more tracks: "Girls on Film", "You Freak Me Out" (for the film "Freaky Friday") and "Jump" (for the film "Love Actually"), which all featured on the album's late 2003 reissue. "When the second album came round, the label said, 'Listen, we're not going to do this group any more if you don't do it.'" Higgins explained. "I think my initial reaction was to do a few tracks and he said, 'No, you have to do this because I think you're the only person who understands exactly what it is'. So, that's how we took it on."
