Spin (Darren Hayes album)

Walter Afanasieff, who had already worked on Savage Garden's Affirmation, oversaw the production of the majority of the album, with help from co-producers Greg Bieck, Rick Nowels and Robert Conley. Afanasieff produced five of the twelve tracks on the original release: "Insatiable", "Heart Attack", "Dirty", "Good Enough" and the title track, "Spin"; Bieck produced "Strange Relationship" and "I Miss You"; Nowels produced "Creepin' Up on You", "I Can't Ever Get Enough of You", "Like It or Not" and "What You Like"; and Conley solely produced the track "Crush (1980 Me)". Afanasieff also produced the Australian-release bonus track, "The Heart Wants What It Wants", and the UK collector's edition bonus tracks, "I Wish U Heaven" and "Can't Help Falling in Love". {{As of| 2006|post=,}} the album sold 118,000 units in the United States.{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57505/ask-billboard|title=Answers to readers' questions about Savage Garden's Darren Hayes, Danity Kane and City High. |work=Billboard|date=17 August 2006 |accessdate=2 July 2014}}

"Insatiable" was the album's lead single in January 2002, becoming a hit in several places across the globe. The single came backed with new B-sides "Falling at Your Feet" and "Ride", plus mixes of the track from Calderone, Pablo La Rosa, Specificus, DP and the Metro Boys.

"Strange Relationship" was released as the album's second single in June 2002. The single came backed with the new B-side "So Bad", remixes by DP and Specificus, the Metro Boys remix and Capital Radio Session of "Insatiable". It included a cover of the Marvin Gaye song "Sexual Healing", Hayes' second cover of a song by the artist, having participated in the 2001 Artists Against AIDS Worldwide recording of the song.

"Crush (1980 Me)" was released as the album's third single in September 2022 in Australia. The single includes the new B-side "Right Dead Back on It", remixes by Mayday Biscuit Disco and "Crush on Holiday"; a mash-up with Madonna's 1983 single "Holiday".

"I Miss You" was released in the United Kingdom in November 2002 in Australia in February 2003. The single includes the new B-sides "In Your Eyes" (a cover of the Peter Gabriel track featured on the UK and European versions) and "Where You Want to Be", plus a remix by Dallas Austin.
