Up to now the girlband mainly relied on songwriters and sometimes co-wrote a song, however they decided that it was time to be directly involved in the creation of eight of the fifteen songs.
In 2003 Kool and the Gang asked them to collaborate with them for their Odyssey album because they wanted an updated version of "Ladies' Night" and were looking for a girl group to sing the lyrics. Atomic Kitten liked the idea and inquired whether they could use it for their next album as well which was subsequently named Ladies Night in honor of this collaboration.[3]
The album and singles were less successful than the previous releases. "If You Come to Me" secured a number 3 position in the UK Singles chart. The album entered the charts at number 5 and was certified platinum, remaining in the charts for 11 weeks. Further singles; "Ladies Night" (featuring Kool and the Gang) and the double A-side "Someone Like Me / Right Now 2004" also made the UK top 10.
The trio embraked on an arena tour in support of the album, however they announced their plans to split once the tour was completed, effectively making Ladies Night their last studio album, although the group have reformed since for occasional one-off performances and charity singles.
The album sold 48,000 copies in its first week in the United Kingdom.[4]
