The Cult Of Ant & Dec is the third and final studio album released by British duo Ant & Dec, previously known as PJ & Duncan. The album was recorded during 1996 and 1997, and included the duo's most successful single during their active career, "When I Fall in Love". The album was released in May 1997 and peaked at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart, and was later certified Silver by the BPI.
For the release of their third studio album, Ant & Dec decided to drop their character names of PJ & Duncan, and continue recording under their real names. Recording began in April 1996, with the duo's long-time collaborator Ray Hedges. Hedges penned the tracks "Just a Little Love" and "Better Watch Out" for the album, as well as producing covers of "Game of Love" and "All I Have to Do Is Dream". In an attempt to break Europe and Asia, "All I Have to Do Is Dream" was released as a single in June 1996, to moderate success in Germany and South Korea. "Better Watch Out" was then released as the album's international lead single in August 1996, receiving moderate success in the United Kingdom.
Due to Hedges' involvement in the recording of Boyzone's second studio album, A Different Beat, he was unable to continue writing with the duo, and the duo where instead referred to songwriter Richard Stannard, who penned their next single, "When I Fall In Love". A large block of the album was produced by Stannard, with co-production from Pete Davis and Matt Rowe. Rob Kean and Tony Vickers also co-produced two tracks for the album, "Bound" and "Cloud Nine".
