Making of the album and chart success
BMG recruited hit production team the Matrix who had produced hits for Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff to write and produce their first single "Get Me Some". Released in June 2003 in Australia, it rose to the top five of the charts in that country in July 2003.
Their second single "5 Years From Now" was released in January 2004 and reached the top 20 of the Australian charts in February 2004. The band's third single "Every Little Step" is a cover version of the Bobby Brown hit from his album Don't Be Cruel. This track was produced by Cutfather & Joe who wrote and produced the Jamelia hit "Superstar".
The band's self-titled debut Mercury4 was released on 31 May 2004. The album also features Air Supply's hit "All Out of Love" with vocals by Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell of Air Supply. The track features contributions by Kevin Layton who replaced Jarvier Perez who left the band for personal reasons in early 2004.
