Beckham's debut album reached number 10 in the UK album chart. The album featured the song "Every Part Of Me", which was co-written by Beckham and dedicated to her son, Brooklyn, who features at the start, Brooklyn's 'part' was allegedly an off-chance recording which took place during a recording session break.

Though it seemed she was a part of a bygone era, in 2002, Beckham was determined to finish a second album, to be released on Telstar Records. At first, recording pop-oriented material to crack the charts, she decided to switch gears and move into a grittier sound. During the album sessions, she had amassed a fair number of songs, but in the wake of its ambivalent direction, halted work to concentrate on her second child, Romeo, born on Sept. 1, 2002. Telstar released a single, “Let Your Head Go/This Groove” in December 2003, but already on shaky financial ground at the time, was out of business only two years later.

Telstar Records signed Victoria in 2002 in a deal made with Simon Fuller's 19 Management. She spent much of 2002 recording a 'pop-influenced' album, but Beckham allegedly shelved it after not being happy with the results.[9] Instead of pop, Beckham wanted to record tracks with a more RnB and hip hop influence, and to accomplish this she began working with urban producer Damon Dash. There were some unsubstantiated rumours regarding both Dash and Beckham at the time. These plans reportedly worried Telstar and Simon Fuller, but they compromised with Beckham, allowing her to release a Dash produced track ("This Groove") along-side one of her earlier pop tracks ("Let Your Head Go") from the shelved album.
