Background

On 10 February 2012 Darin released the album's first single "Nobody Knows". The project was to release two EPs containing 4-5 tracks each, the first one in April and the second one in August. The release date for the first EP was initially 4 April 2012. However, due to unknown reasons, it was pushed back to 14 April. In the meanwhile, Darin made some public appearances, performing his latest single and two more new songs, "All Gone" and "Right To This Point". The album release was one more time delayed and eventually, on 11 June, Darin's team announced on his Facebook page that he would no longer release two EPs and that a new album was set to be released in early 2013. Darin stated several times that the reason why he trashed the whole project was that he was not satisfied with the sound. According to him, the songs on the first EP were very good but he "couldn't let go something that was not 110 percent good."[ citation needed ]

In October 2012, Darin went on a songwriting tour to USA, where he worked with worldwide famous producers as Jim Beanz, The Jackie Boyz, Victoria Horn and the RedOne Team. They wrote 25 songs, 10 of which made it to the final track list. On 16 November, during an interview for the Swedish NRJ Radio channel, Darin stated that the album would be released at the end of January 2013 and it is a mixture of pop, R&B and club music.[ citation needed ] The following month, he also revealed the album title in an interview, Exit.[ citation needed ]

On 21 December 2012, Darin announced on his Facebook page that the album will be released on 30 January 2013 and posted the album artwork and track listing. The album was released in a Limited Edition, including all six of Darin's songs from the Swedish TV-show Så mycket bättre , which he participated in from October to December 2012. [3]
