Rediscovered is the fifth studio album by English-Norwegian pop group A1. The album was released on 2 November 2012 in Norway, exclusively through daWorks Records. Two singles have thus far been released from the album: "Just Three Words", featuring singer Annie Khalid, which was released as a promotional single in April 2012, and the album's official lead single, "Trust Me", released on 5 October 2012. The album debuted at number 17 in Norway, becoming their lowest-charting album in their career. "Christopher Columbus" was released as the album's third single on April 2013.
"That Somebody Is Me" has been released as a free track on 17 October 2014, during the Big Reunion Tour.
Band member Mark Read said of the album; "I'm really proud of the amazing work we've put into this album. I feel we've really pulled together a great collection of songs, & you'll be hearing a lot more about it the next few weeks. There's one song that I can listen to continuously on loop before going to bed, & it's the last track on the album. Not long until you can hear it too." A piece on the album on the group's official site reads; "'Rediscovered' is a musical journey in which the band rediscover what got them into music in the first place; extremely catchy pop songs, with a back to basics approach. From the very sing-along-able "Christopher Columbus" which helped inspire the album title, to powerful and stomping dance floor tunes like 'That Somebody Is Me' and 'Lovesick'. But whilst this album is about going back to their roots, it’s also about venturing into new territories, and a lot of people may be quite surprised by the songs that the band have written for this album. For A1, this is the album that will bridge the gap between fans who‘ve stayed true for all these years, to the people who are discovering them for the first time."
