Passion was in the making for four years. Released on June 6, 2005, the album met a lukewarm reception. Originally planned for release after the second single in early 2005 ("Love Never Loved Me", continuing the trend of dance tracks), Virgin sent Geri to Sweden to record new tracks. The results were "Desire" and "Surrender Your Groove", which knocked "100% Pure Love" and "Set Me Off" from the final cut. "Passion" debuted at number forty-one, selling 5,432 copies in its first week and 15,000 in total in the UK, the album also debuted at number thirty-nine in Brazil, where it sold 3,000 copies. Worldwide sales or shipments are unknown.

Geri fulfilled her 3 albums contract with EMI with this release.

[edit] Unreleased Tracks

1. "100% Pure Love" - The original album tracklisting at the time of Ride It's release include this track. However, in March 2005 Geri was ordered by EMI to record more tracks as they were not happy with the original track line-up. As a result Surrender Your Groove and Desire replaced 100% Pure Love and Set Me Off. A version of 100% Pure Love has since leaked onto the Internet
2. "Set Me Off" [1] - The original album tracklisting at the time of Ride It's release include this track. However, in March 2005 Geri was ordered by EMI to record more tracks as they were not happy with the original track line-up. As a result Surrender Your Groove and Desire replaced 100% Pure Love and Set Me Off. A promo to EMI Spain was sent with Set Me Off included. The track has yet to leak or be heard outside of EMI Spain.
3. "Geri's Got Her Groove Back" [2]
4. "Disco Sister" Was only the first version of the album back when it was entitled Disco Sister Music and was full on non stop dance pop along the lines of 100% Pure Love and Ryde It.
