The production of Accident Prone started in April 2005 at the Farmhouse Studios (Siggiewi, Malta). "I enjoyed writing this album so much. Howard and I worked on it for a month, then we were off on tour for three months, which really inspired us to write the last few tracks for the album. When we came back, we went into the studio and recorded the last four songs. Accident Prone is a real account of how our lives have been these last few months!" (Ira Losco)[3] This album is "versatile, strong and deep, revealing a more mature Ira Losco". Contribution for the production of Accident Prone came also from a series of co-writing sessions with American and Swedish songwriters.
The first tracks of Accident Prone were recorded just before Ira Losco started her summer 2005 tour in Germany. Performing in front of audiences ranging form 25,000 to 80,000, she was a supporting act for well-known artists like Elton John, Melanie C, Ronan Keating, Simple Minds, and Katie Melua. "Touring has been an incredible experience. It has given me unbelievable confidence, a tough skin and an insatiable hunger for success! I also feel I’ve taken my performing and song-writing skills further throughout this busy summer!" (Ira Losco).[3] Ira Losco's band accompanied her throughout all the tour. A video clip containing various footage of her tour was later posted on her site.
Accident Prone features "strong and deep" songs. The first single from this album is Everyday. Since her previous release in 2004, the release of this single boosted Ira Losco's popularity in Malta, hitting number 1 in the local radio charts,[4] and being featured in various local adverts. The second release was Get Out!, which is a more up-tempo song than Everyday. Don't Wanna Talk About It and Driving One Of Your Cars were also released as singles. The latter is a cover version of the original Driving One Of Your Cars of Lisa Miskovsky. In Malta, Ira Losco's 4th single from Accident Prone was another huge success, topping the local radio airplay charts again.[4] In June 2006, the album titled track Accident Prone was released as single, together with a music video.
