The group are particularly well known for their collaborations with Kylie Minogue. In 2007, the duo produced Minogue's cover version of their song "2 Hearts", which was released as the lead single to X. It reached number one in Australia and number four in the United Kingdom. Minogue also co-wrote on "You Make Me Feel", a track recorded and released by Kish Mauve when it did not make the final cut for X. In 2010, they again wrote and co-produced a single for Minogue, "All the Lovers"; released as the first single from Minogue's eleventh studio album, Aphrodite, it peaked at number three in the UK.

Stilwell and Eliot also contributed to Will Young's fifth studio album, Echoes, released in 2011. Six songs co-written with Young are featured on Echoes, including the lead single, "Jealousy"; also appearing on the album is a cover of their 2009 single "Come On". Kish Mauve worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on tracks to feature on her fourth studio album, Make a Scene (2011), but none of these tracks made the final cut. Jim Eliot worked with Ladyhawke and Rosie and the Goldbug on their respective debut albums, Ladyhawke and Rosie and the Goldbug (both 2008), and with Ellie Goulding on her second studio album, Halcyon (2012). He has written and produced material for Little Boots, Girls Aloud, Rae Morris, Rosanna Munter, and Olly Murs.
