Wordshaker is the second studio album by British–Irish girl group The Saturdays, released on 12 October 2009 through Fascination Records. It is the group's first album to feature a song where they are credited as writers. Upon release the album peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart, but the following week fell out of the top 30. As of August 2010, the album has been removed from UK iTunes and other digital download outlets, possibly due to Headlines! being released featuring some of the same material.
It was preceded by the lead single "Forever Is Over", written by James Bourne and produced by The Runaways which peaked at number two. Second single "Ego" was released on 4 January 2010 and equalled the album's success by reaching number nine on the UK Singles Chart
The group started work on their second album in early March 2009 whilst they performed their first headline shows, The Work Tour. Two songs from the recording sessions "One Shot" and "Wordshaker" were part of the setlist and appeared on the album. The track list for the album contains the song "Not Good Enough", which was originally recorded during the Chasing Lights sessions but was later remixed for inclusion on Wordshaker. The official cover was revealed in a special mailer to fans on the group's official form/website on 23 September 2009.
The majority of the album (seven songs) were written/co-written by Norwegian songwriter Ina Wroldsen who has written previously for the group as well as working with The Pussycat Dolls, Pixie Lott and Leona Lewis. Additionally the album features one song called "Deeper" which accredits every member of the group as a writer. Additionally it was revealed that the song "Forever Is Over" (later chosen to be the first single) was in fact written for Kelly Clarkson to record for her album. However, during a visit to the record label's HQ The Saturdays heard the song and requested the song's writer James Bourne to let them record it instead.
