Word of Mouth is the third and final studio album by English-Irish boy band the Wanted. The album was released worldwide via Island Records on 4 November 2013. The album was preceded by the release of six singles: "Chasing the Sun", "I Found You", "Walks Like Rihanna", "We Own the Night", "Show Me Love (America)" and "Glow in the Dark", the latter of which was released two weeks prior to the album. It was the last studio album to feature singer Tom Parker before his death in March 2022.
The album features production from a wide range of producers and was recorded over the course of two years, from 2011 to 2013. The Wanted toured the album with their first ever world tour, the Word of Mouth Tour, starting in February 2014.
Background and development
The Wanted began working on recording new material in November 2011, shortly after the release of their second studio album, Battleground. The band confirmed that they had worked with a number of different producers and collaborators whilst writing the material, in order to make something that would appeal to both American and British audiences. It was initially rumoured that the material that they were recording would be for a repackaged version of Battleground, which would contain a total of seven tracks which failed to make the initial cut, plus two brand new recordings, but this idea was later dismissed by band members Max George and Siva Kaneswaran. It was later revealed that the band had recorded a duet with a "female mega-star", rumoured to be Rihanna and the track, rumoured to be titled "Jealousy" would appear on their next album. Despite this, the band said that after the song had been mixed, tuned and finalised, the final mix "didn't cut it", and as such, the song had been completely scrapped, and was not going to be released.{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a359811/the-wanted-turn-down-collaboration-with-big-us-artist.html|title=The Wanted turn down collaboration with big US artist|last=Corner|first=Lewis|date=12 January 2012|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=13 November 2013|archive-date=13 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113171052/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a359811/the-wanted-turn-down-collaboration-with-big-us-artist.html|url-status=live}}
In March 2012, the Wanted premiered the first track from the recording sessions, a track entitled "Chasing the Sun", written by English singer and rapper Example. Later that month, they premiered another new track, "Satellite", co-written by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. Both tracks went on to appear on the band's self-titled debut EP release in the United States. It was soon revealed that they were in fact in the midst of recording their third studio album. In October 2012, shortly after the premiere of their new single, "I Found You", rumours circulated the internet that the album would be titled Third Strike, and a track list and artwork were also "revealed". The track list contained a number of tracks which failed to make the cut of Battleground, several new recordings, plus collaborations with the likes of Chris Brown on "Loverboy", Rita Ora on "Mastermind" and LMFAO on "The Club's on Fire",{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1692284/the-wanted-lmfao-album-collabo.jhtml|title=The Wanted Tease 'Insane' LMFAO Collabos|last=Garibaldi|first=Christina|date=21 August 2012|publisher=MTV|access-date=13 August 2013|archive-date=21 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021173206/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1692284/the-wanted-lmfao-album-collabo.jhtml|url-status=dead}} as well as appearances from Dappy and Pitbull on the deluxe edition. Dappy's collaboration, "Bring It All Home", appears on his debut album Bad Intentions and Pitbull's collaboration, "Have Some Fun", appears on his seventh album Global Warming. However, in one of the band's "Wanted Wednesday" videos, Nathan Sykes revealed that the title and artwork were both fake.{{YouTube|88agieOFp4M|title=#WantedWednesday – Our New LA Home!}} The track listing was later revealed to be fake as well, including all the collaborations.
In February 2013, it was announced that the Wanted would star in their own reality series called The Wanted Life, which premiered internationally in June 2013. The show was produced by Ryan Seacrest, as well as the band themselves.{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/the-wanted-star-in-the-wanted-life-reality-series-on-e!-1033233.php|title=The Wanted to star in 'The Wanted Life' reality series on E!|publisher=Reality TV World|date=6 February 2013|access-date=17 June 2013|archive-date=11 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130211095427/http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/the-wanted-star-in-the-wanted-life-reality-series-on-e!-1033233.php|url-status=live}} In the United States, it premiered on E! on 2 June 2013.{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/04/16/the-wanted-life-to-premiere-sunday-june-2-on-e/178224/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019064115/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/04/16/the-wanted-life-to-premiere-sunday-june-2-on-e/178224/|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 October 2013|title='The Wanted Life' to Premiere Sunday, 2 June on E!|last=Bibel|first=Sara|date=16 April 2013|work=TV by the Numbers|publisher=Zap2it|access-date=16 April 2013}} The series featured clips of the band recording the album, including snippets of "We Own the Night" and "Show Me Love", two tracks which had not previously been premiered.
On 22 July 2013, after several delays, the album's title was officially announced as Word of Mouth{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a500107/the-wanted-announce-new-album-word-of-mouth.html|title=The Wanted announce new album 'Word of Mouth'|last=Corner|first=Lewis|date=22 July 2013|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=23 July 2013|archive-date=27 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727063855/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a500107/the-wanted-announce-new-album-word-of-mouth.html|url-status=live}} and it was finally announced that it would be released on 16 September 2013,{{cite web|url=http://www.thewantedmusic.com/news/536|title=New TW Album Announced!!|date=22 July 2013|publisher=Wanted World|access-date=13 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823213521/http://www.thewantedmusic.com/news/536|archive-date=23 August 2013|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/23406890|title=The Wanted announce details of new album Word of Mouth|last=Blake|first=Jimmy|date=22 July 2013|work=Newsbeat|publisher=BBC|access-date=26 September 2013|archive-date=24 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724203336/http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/23406890|url-status=live}} but on 9 September 2013, the band announced that, due to additional recording, the album would again be delayed, with a new release date of 4 November 2013. To compensate, however, the album's artwork and official track list were both revealed that day. Tom Parker explained that the further delay was due to the band adding some final tracks to the album, "It's taken us two years to make this album and now that it's finally finished we are all really proud of the time and effort, not just that we put in to it but all the writers and the label too. We think it's our strongest album to date. We can't wait for our fans to hear it. They've been really patient but hopefully they'll think it's worth the wait!" The band confirmed that tour mate Justin Bieber had written a song for them, but they declined it and told him to keep it for himself.{{cite news|url=http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/09/the-wanted-announce-new-single-show-me-love-america-unveil-word-of-mouth-album-artwork-and-assure-fans-its-worth-the-wait-3955988/|title=The Wanted announce new single Show Me Love (America) unveil Word of Mouth album artwork and assure fans it's 'worth the wait'|last=Duff|first=Seamus|date=9 September 2013|work=Metro|publisher=DMG Media|access-date=10 September 2013|archive-date=28 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928162731/http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/09/the-wanted-announce-new-single-show-me-love-america-unveil-word-of-mouth-album-artwork-and-assure-fans-its-worth-the-wait-3955988/|url-status=live}}

The album has received mixed reviews from music critics. Carl Smith of Sugarscape gave it 7.5/10 and said: "Word of Mouth could probably have gone from Good Boyband Album territory to Great Boyband Album status if it was a bit shorter. There are some amazing tracks on there that we're gonna be going back to a *lot*, but there's a bit of filler too. It's definitely worth the wait, though...and we're never really ones to turn down a boyband, let's be honest." In his review for AllMusic, Matt Collar gave the album 3.5/5 and wrote: "The Wanted have always seemed somewhat older and more mature than many of their contemporaries. That, combined with the band's broader musical palette (especially for a boy band) that touches upon a bit of passionate rock balladry ("Love Sewn"), some very Daft Punk-esque electronica ("Glow in the Dark"), and more than a few post-U2 anthems ("Could This Be Love"), they often seem more in line with bands like Maroon 5 and OneRepublic than other teen pop acts. Of course, there are enough fun, dance club-ready cuts on Word of Mouth—with songs like "Walks Like Rihanna" and the '70s falsetto-heavy disco-house standout "I Found You"—to ensure that the band's many younger, mainstream pop fans will have something to enjoy. Ultimately, if the Wanted's plan is to build upon the higher profile they've gained since their reality series, then Word of Mouth is certainly something to shout about."
Brian Mansfield of USA Today was more negative and said, "English-Irish band the Wanted has a more continental sensibility than One Direction. Its third full-length album is its first stateside, after a string of singles with diminishing returns. So while "Show Me Love (America)" isn't a plea, it might as well be." He gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5. Similarly, Ian Gittins of Virgin Media gave the album two stars and called it "pop for pre-teens, for the easily impressed, and for those who are too credulous to know any better. The bland leading the bland.", but admitted that "it will do incredibly well." In another two-stars-out-of-five review, Digital Spy's Lewis Corner wrote, "aside from the singles, Word of Mouth has little else to offer. 'In the Middle' is an inoffensive air-grabbing mid-tempo and 'Demons' offers a marginally harder tone with its guitar-backed chorus. But elsewhere, 'Summer Alive' is throwaway boyband EDM, while the sway of 'Love Sewn' is more limp than the soggy bottom of a fruit tart."
Chart performance
On 8 November 2013, the album debuted at number ten on the Irish Singles Chart. Three days later, it charted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart.
The album also debuted and peaked at number 17 in the United States.
Singles
In September 2011, it was announced that English singer and rapper Example had written a track for the Wanted.{{cite news|url=http://www.sugarscape.com/tags/music/658931/examples-given-song-wanted|title=Example's given a song to The Wanted!|last=Lucey|first=Kate|date=13 September 2013|work=Sugarscape|access-date=13 August 2013|archive-date=10 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130710175951/http://www.sugarscape.com/tags/music/658931/examples-given-song-wanted|url-status=live}} In an interview with the Daily Record, Example said, "I wrote a song for them called "Chasing the Sun" and it's great. They went into the studio yesterday and Max even cryptically tweeted that it was a tune...I thought a few people might want it at first, including Enrique Iglesias and Kylie because both have asked me to write songs for them.

It was also released as the third single from the band's self-titled EP in the United States on 17 April, and was included as one of the two theme songs for the 2012 animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift.{{cite news|url=http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/the-wanted/news/chasing-the-sun-ice-age-4-title-track/|title=The Wanted's 'Chasing The Sun' To Be Used As Title Track in Ice Age 4: Continental Drift|date=3 May 2012|publisher=Capital FM|access-date=7 November 2013|archive-date=10 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110090633/http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/the-wanted/news/chasing-the-sun-ice-age-4-title-track/|url-status=live}} It peaked at number two on the UK singles chart, giving the band their sixth UK top ten hit.
