• "I Want You" was released in July 1996 as the group's debut single under Roadshow Music and Warner Music. It peaked at No. 4 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles Chart and on the 1996 End of Year Singles Chart, becoming the highest-selling single of 1996 by an Australian artist. On 30 September, they received their first ARIA Award nomination, in the category 'Breakthrough Artist – Single'. Their success garnered interest from international labels and they signed to Columbia Records. "I Want You" was released in North America in February, where it peaked at No. 4 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 and by April had achieved gold status according to Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It peaked at No. 1 on the Canadian Singles Chart. "I Want You" was released across Europe in April 1997, reaching No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart.
