Wet Wet Wet joined a tour with Lionel Richie and played arenas for the first time, while continuing work on the album with new producers Michael Baker and Axel Kroll. They put the album together and were much more in tune with what we were trying to do, says Graeme. The previous producers had seen the band a certain way and it didn’t work. We knew absolutely what we didn’t want, and it just came together with Michael and Axel. Ahead of Popped In Souled Out’s 30th-anniversary reissue, Graeme is proud of what it achieved. Once you get to work revisiting all the tracks for the box set and rehearsing them to play live, the memories come flooding back as if it was yesterday. No one is as surprised as I am that, 30 years after its release, we are still talking about it.

Most of the songs were midtempo including the debut single and album opener, "Wishing I Was Lucky" as well as the two follow-up singles, "Sweet Little Mystery" and "Angel Eyes. The fourth single, "Temptation," was a ballad in the style of Spandau Ballet's "Through the Barricades" and was the least successful of the tracks released as singles. Popped in Souled Out hit number two in the charts on its first week, eventually climbing to the very top at the beginning of 1988 and spending the whole of the first half of that year inside the Top Ten. During this run, they released a non-album track, "With a Little Help from My Friends," for the Childline charity, which became the band's first number one single.
