Trying to reinvent his own image, Clarkson decided to part ways with the DSDS management and developed a more pop rock-oriented sound for his third album, Attention! (2006). It reached the top twenty of the album charts in Austria and Germany, becoming the singer's lowest–charting album then. [4] Attention! spawned two singles, including "All (I Ever Want)", a duet with singer Sabrina Weckerlin, and leading single "Not Like You".
