Sandé went on to be named the Critics Choice for the 2012 BRIT Awards, and release her debut album Our Version of Events (2012), a record which was mostly produced and co-written with Naughty Boy.
Khan spent 2011 and 2012 working on records for the likes of Leona Lewis, JLS, Cheryl Cole, Jennifer Hudson, Alesha Dixon and Tinie Tempah, amongst others. Naughty Boy is also working on his own debut album, due in 2013 titled Hotel Cabana. "Wonder", the first single from the collection, features lead vocals from Sandé. The second single from the album, "La La La", features singer Sam Smith.
