Goldfrapp followed "Ooh La La" with "Number 1", the second single from their third album, Supernature, released in October 2005. Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory wrote it, produced it and recorded it themselves, building it on synthesiser and bass guitar, with Nick Batt adding synth and Mark "Spike" Stent handling the mix. Alison sings lead on a song about how much a bond between two people can mean, even one that may not last.
The critics took to it, it made the top 40 on most of the charts it reached, and it went all the way to the top of the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. It has been remixed plenty of times since, and Target used it in its advertising.
