He released his first single "The Time of My Life" after his win, followed by the lead single "Light On" from his first major-label album, the eponymous David Cook. Both "The Time of My Life" and "Light On" have each sold over a million copies, while his second single from the album "Come Back to Me" sold over 500,000.[1] His self-titled album was released on November 18, 2008, via RCA Records.
