Background and release of EP

After finishing her GCSEs in Pembrokeshire, Duffy returned to Nefyn when she was fifteen, and started singing in various local bands. Following an unsuccessful music project in Switzerland, Duffy returned to Wales in 2003 and was invited to appear on "Wawffactor", a Welsh television show similar to "Pop Idol", on local station S4C. She was expected to win, but came second to winner Lisa Pedrig.

In 2004, Duffy recorded this three-song EP, which was then released by Awen Records in the same year. The release of this EP and her appearance on "WawFfactor" had garnered herself a popular name among the Welsh-speaking community of Wales."
