Chasing the Saturdays is the second
The collection features previous singles released into the UK throughout the Saturdays' five years as a pop group in the UK. The songs "All Fired Up" and "Notorious" are originally from their third studio album On Your Radar (2011); "Ego" is from their second studio album Wordshaker (2009) and "Higher" is from their debut EP Headlines! (2010). "What About Us", which was released in United States on 18 December 2012, acted as the lead single from the EP, though it would also be the second single from the Saturdays' fourth studio album Living for the Weekend (2013).[1]
Background and development
On 29 October 2012, it was announced that the Saturdays had been in talks with American television network
The Saturdays began to make their presence in the United States known after they performed at the opening ceremony of MTV Video Music Awards.[3] The group later thanked their US label for giving them a chance in the United States.[4] The band pointed out that the record labels had made them feel welcome which took a lot of weight off their shoulders.[4] The band said they have always respected the labels due to the massive success they've had with artists.[4] The EP would be released after the band's reality television programme debuted in order to act as promotion in America.[5] According to E! president Suzanne Kolb, "The Saturdays are a pop phenomenon with magnetic appeal and tremendous talent, and we are excited to capture their next chapter as they win over the hearts and playlists of America," adding that "'Chasing the Saturdays' is a perfect addition to E!'s popular Sunday night reality block, which continues to deliver can't miss original programming to viewers year-round."[6] Upon its premiere in the United Kingdom, Chasing the Saturdays became that week's #139 most watched show with 72,000 viewers.
