The band returned to the studio shortly after the release of their debut effort, Thinking It Over, and began by recording a collaboration with producer Richard X – a mash-up of classic tracks "Being Boiled" and "Ain't Nobody", entitled "Being Nobody".

As well as being released to promote the band's new album, it also served as the lead single from Richard X Presents His X-Factor Vol.

Four songs that failed to make the final cut of Being Somebody, "Bump & Grind", "Get Away", "Press Rewind" and "Wilder", were leaked to YouTube in April 2010.

He noted that while it kicks "off with a rather cheesy and unnecessary intro, the album moves straight into high gear with the monster hit singles, "Jumpin’" and "Being Nobody," and rarely lets the pace flag throughout the remaining 13 tracks," resulting "in some of the most memorable pop tunes you are ever likely to hear.

He added that "it's no coincidence that Being Somebody's big hitters are penned by the seasoned pros and the endless tales of lurve provide few glimpses into the ordinary people at the heart of the phenomenon.

Still, the girls' vocal performances are integral, and the band's Tony Lundon is playing an increasingly major writing role: his untypical "Watcha Doin' Tonite" hardly pines for lives they've now clearly left behind.

Being Somebody will certainly establish their credentials as songwriters, having penned ten of the tracks here, but they certainly need reining in a little for album number three if they're going to fulfill their early potential.
