Background and composition

I wanted to go off and write an album I’d be really proud of and know that, when it did come out, I wouldn’t regret it. I’ll have to live with it for the rest of my life

Janet Devlin talking to Portsmouth News about the album.[2]

Following her participation in the eighth series of the British X Factor and the X Factor Tour, Devlin started working on her debut studio album.

All of the songs were written in collaboration by Devlin and songwriters including the critically acclaimed Newton Faulkner, Eliot Kennedy and Jack Savoretti.

The limited release of the album via Pledge Music included a bonus 4 track acoustic EP, "Nothing Lost", which was released on 14 August 2013. This EP had additional tracks co-written with Savoretti and Joe Janiak included as well as a cover of, her X Factor audition song, Your Song by Elton John.

A version of "Delicate" originally included on the EP "Nothing Lost" is set to be added to the final track listing for the general release of "Hide & Seek".
