"Is There Anybody Out There (Kickin' Off)" was written by Hedges and Butler with the group during their time on Rock School, and is thus sometimes credited as being co-written by the group (then known as "Hoax UK"). The album version is slightly different to the version performed on the show. "Gettin' Enough??" has been compared to have a similar tone to that of "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" by the Buzzcocks. "Rachel" was reportedly written about singer and personality Rachel Stevens.
