They were signed by Warner Music and released their first songs that same year with Fuck Me and Betty Woz Gone and their version of Ini Kamoze's Here Comes the Hotstepper . With their R&B pop and lyrics full of sexual innuendo, they quickly got attention. In the BBC forecast Sound of ... the breakthrough for 2012 was predicted.
For their first real single release, they recorded an adjusted version of Fuck Me under the title Love Me . They also brought in Travie McCoy from the Gym Class Heroes .
