"6 of 1 Thing", the second single taken from Trust Me, charted at number 39 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his third-lowest charting single to date. "Officially Yours" was released on 23 June 2008 and peaked at number 158 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his lowest-charting single to date and was the final single from Trust Me.
In July, a new track titled "Are You Up for This" started receiving airplay on various radio stations as part of a promotion with Ice Cream Records, which also had a remix with Witty Boy called "Nutter Butter". On 17 August, David performed at a birthday tribute concert for the songwriter Don Black at the London Palladium. He performed the song "Ben", originally a hit for Michael Jackson.
