The album's third single "Eyes Wide Shut" was remixed to feature Tinie Tempah, and reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

JLS began working on their third album in March 2011. In May 2011 it was confirmed that the first single would feature American singer-songwriter Dev, and was titled "She Makes Me Wanna". It was released for digital download on 24 July 2011. The single debuted at number one, becoming the group's fifth UK number one single.
