On Your Radar

[1] The band desired to take risks, with group member Mollie King declared their new sound as "dance floor music" during the recording process.

[5][6][7] Space Cowboy, who co-produced Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", was also working on the upcoming album.

[8] On Twitter, it was revealed that Carl Falk[9] and Rami Yacoub[10] had been working in the studio with the band and recorded the album track "White Lies".

[11] The band had written songs in studio and remote environments, and sometimes spent entire days writing lyrics.

[12] The band confirmed that this album will be their first to be released globally as they are planning to break the European music market.

[20] "Our new album’s going to be a lot sexier than our old one, it's definitely a different sound, we’re really excited about it, We’ve all grown up a bit now and that shows.

They responded with "current", "fun", "naughty", "girly" and "dancy"[22] When Wonderland questioned the band asking if the whole album would be like "Notorious".

Where Una Healy stated, "I think every artist needs to, sort of, reinvent themselves and we don't want any track to sound like it could have been on our previous albums.

[27] "All Fired Up" track was labelled as the band as a "floor filler"[28] "All Fired Up" was explained as think "Ibiza closing party meets Miami poolside rave – the girls continue to blow us away as their signature pop vocals are played over a synth dance beat creating this anthemic dance banger.

The second single from the album "All Fired Up" is a dance-pop song and has gathered comparisons to artists Lady Gaga and David Guetta.

"[16] Critics also wrote, "Vanessa [White] demands in a hazy and heavily synthesised fashion on the intro of 'All Fired Up'.

"[30] "Their fun, girlish vibe and unabashed pop sensibility has been traded for a cookie-cutter electro-pop sound.

Una Healy said "I dig into the past for inspiration and remember all the bad boyfriends I had and all the crap things they did to me.

Rochelle Humes said that "Someone Like You" by Adele and "She Makes Me Wanna" by JLS and Dev was a big influence in what they wanted their records to sound like.

We understand that dance music is very big at the moment and when you’re a pop act you can venture into differ rent genres.

[38] "For Myself" is a track the band co-wrote with Viktoria Hansen, the song is about a turbulent relationship and no matter what you argue a lot.

Una Healy said they wanted their fans to see how it is on tour and what their friendship is like in the band and how they never have argument and they have good banter.

They appeared on morning talk and news show, Daybreak, where the band spoke about their upcoming tour and album.

The track was produced by Steve Mac and written by himself and Ina Wroldsen whom the pair have previously work together on a number of singles for the band including "Ego".

[citation needed] The song has been described as "big" and that it was "quite amazing" and often getting comparison to music by The Black Eyed Peas, Kelis and Rihanna.

[72][74] AllMusic's Jon O'Brien wrote that the album "is make-or-break time", while noticing that the girls' "robotic vocals are occasionally capable of emotion.

"[67] Hermione Hoby of The Observer found the Saturdays "perennially short on tunes and heavy on lipgloss" and stated that "they've professed to heading in a "clubbier" direction, which sadly means lots of boring bangers that are more filler than floor-filling.

"[73] Simon Gage of the Daily Express wrote that "there is not an original thought or sound on this collection", but noted that "whatever The Saturdays' real input into this new album, it doesn't seem to have damaged the brand too much.

"[70] Stephen Moore of the Islington Gazette wrote that "half the album is thrill-free filler and dodgy attempts at heartfelt slowies, but the rest is passably poppy at least.

"[75] Matthew Horton of Virgin Media called it "unremarkable" and noticed that "the major issue is an off-the-peg production sheen that lumps On Your Radar with any old pop-rave album on the market right now."

"[74] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy complimented "the girls' newfound enthusiasm for slipping on a pair of Louboutins and hitting the dancefloor" while praising the singles "Notorious" and "All Fired Up", but felt that "their initial energy soon starts to wane at the back-end" and concluded by saying that "the result is a jumble sale of hits and misses which, unfortunately, sees the girls' identity slip steadily off the radar.

"[71] Mike Diver of BBC Music called the album "as much of a nuisance as a neighbour’s car alarm blaring away at 3 am" and described it as "an unforgiving listen which aims to attract the nightclubbing crowd at the expense of its central performers' more appealing comfort zones."

[68] Andy Gill from The Independent described On Your Radar as "an album that seeks not to separate itself from the herd, but to bury itself so deeply in its midst as to be virtually invisible" and felt that "the rote expressions of devotion, (frankly risible) and regret are organised into a vacillating cycle of submission and reproach that offers scant opportunities for imaginative connection.

"[72] A more favourable review came from Sarah Kwong from Cosmopolitan who noted that "the girl group have taken their feisty, finger-snapping lyrics and given them harder, cooler beats"[69] and David Griffiths of 4Music who noticed that "The Saturdays continue to go from strength to strength" and praised the "hooky chorus and slamming beats" of the song "White Lies", which he described as "the best of the bunch".

[66] The reviewer from Newsround praised the album's abundance of "stomping electro anthems [...] to wave your arms/sing along/shake your body to" and felt that it "certainly doesn't disappoint".

Katy Perry is one of the artists the band took influences from on the album.
The Saturdays performed at several festivals over the summer of 2011.
