Background
"No One" was an unreleased track written by
Bryan Adams.[3] The album features writing contributions from a number of well-known songwriters, including two songs penned by
Steve Mac and
Wayne Hector ("Missing You" and "Then You Kissed Me"; the latter of which was an unreleased song by fellow boyband
Westlife). The album's title track was also co-written by
Phil Thornalley, famous for his work on
Natalie Imbruglia's debut "
Left of the Middle". The band co-wrote the mid-tempo ballad "Fly" with songwriter Kai McKenzie, who produced several tracks for the album. The original Japanese release includes four tracks omitted from the worldwide digital release, including the Mac-Hector "Then You Kissed Me".
