After a period of touring, Decker recorded "Red" between December 1997 to July 1998 at Roundhouse Studios in London. The album, which was released in September 1998, was supported by a thirty-six date tour named "The Red Tour". To promote the new album, a radio promo single, "With a Little Luck", was released. Further promotional activities included a live session for Virgin Radio and an appearance on VH1, which Decker also filmed material for in New York. Later in November and December 1998, T'Pau supported Status Quo on the German and UK leg of their Tour "It's Good to Tour". Despite the touring, "Red" was not a commercial success, nor was a re-recorded version of "Giving Up the Ghost", released in 1999.
