As part of the deluxe 3CD edition, three never-before-heard songs from 2004 will be released, alongside rarities, unreleased demos and exclusive remixes.

Girls Aloud announced their live comeback in November with a 2024 UK and Ireland arena tour.
The stint will take place in May and June and has been described as “a celebration of Girls Aloud’s rich back catalogue and all the ground-breaking success they have achieved as a band.”

The band have promised fans that the tour will be “magic”, but that added that it will “never be the same” without their late bandmate Sarah Harding, who passed away in 2021 due to breast cancer.
“It will never be the same again, we accept that,” Cheryl told Sky News, “but we’re going to make a new type of sparkle with her in it.”
The group previously revealed that Harding suggested during her cancer battle that they reform one day, but also said they have no plans to release new music.
“We couldn’t because Sarah wouldn’t be included in that newness,” Cheryl said.
