Taller in More Ways is the fourth studio album by British pop trio Sugababes, released by Island Records on October 10, 2005 in the UK. It was primarily produced by Dallas Austin and Xenomania, with additional production from Cameron McVey, and Guy Sigsworth.

The first single to be released was "Push The Button" which topped the charts for 3 weeks (during this the group topped both the UK Singles Chart and the UK Album Chart - see 2005 in British music). Ironically, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" a single released by Arctic Monkeys which removed "Push the Button" from the chart summit in 2005, was later covered by the Sugababes.

The subsequent release, "Ugly", was also the final single from the line-up including Mutya Buena and reached the Top 3.

When Buena left the group in the autumn of 2005, the album was re-released in 2006 with several new and re-recorded songs, containing vocals by replacement member Amelle Berrabah.

"Red Dress" preceded the re-release of the album, with the new line up, and peaked at Number 4 on the UK Top 40.

The final single release was "Follow Me Home" which peaked at Number 32 on the UK Top 40, their lowest chart position to date (previously this was "Soul Sound", which charted at Number 30).
