[edit] Background

The album was released officially in Ireland on 22 October 1994, before being made available in the UK on 21 November 1994 by Polygram International and 1995 in the United States. Nearly a year after its release, the album topped the UK Albums Chart on the week of 2 September 1995.[2] The album was certified as 3x Platinum in the UK.[3] The album spent 58 weeks on the UK Top 75 Albums chart.[4] Some Japanese Editions of the album came encased in a special slipcase, containing a bonus photo booklet.[5] The first Irish pressing of the album, of which only around 10,000 copies exist, contains the group's debut single, "Working My Way Back to You", in place of "Father and Son", which was featured as a B-side to the single instead. This version was available nearly two months earlier, on 4 September 1994, as an exclusive to the Irish retail chain Foley's.[6] All later pressings contain the final tracklisting. Five official singles were released from the album: "Love Me for a Reason", "Key to My Life", "So Good", "Father and Son" and "Coming Home Now". "Believe in Me" was also issued as a single, exclusively in Japan. It was released as an alternative to "Father and Son" in the country.
