The band experienced a breakthrough in 2005 with their third album Another Day and the single "Love You More", which reached number three on the Dutch Top 40 and became one of the biggest hits of the year.

Racoon started in 1997 as an acoustic duo made up of singer Bart van der Weide and guitarist Dennis Huige.

[6] After self-releasing the demo It's an Ice Cream Day and playing the Noorderslag festival in 1999, the band received several offers and signed to Sony Music.

They had a few minor radio hits, but the band would later say that they view their second album with mixed feelings, as the label insisted on releasing a follow-up soon.

[7] In 2002, Sony dropped Racoon because their head office in the United States wanted the label to dump all the Dutch bands.

Now unsigned, singer Van der Weide worked as a garbage man for a year and a half before Racoon were picked up by an independent label, Play It Again Sam.

Its lead single, "Het is al laat toch", peaked at number two on the Dutch Top 40 in 2020, their biggest hit yet.
