Sonia is the second album by British pop star Sonia, released in October 1991 on IQ Records,[2] after parting company with Chrysalis Records[3] and Stock Aitken Waterman. Sonia's second album was produced by Nigel Wright and for the first time Sonia co-wrote some of the songs. The album features the singles "Only Fools (Never Fall in Love)", "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" and "You to Me Are Everything",[4] all of which were hits in the UK Singles Chart, while the album itself reached No.33.[5] The album was repackaged and released as a debut album in the US in 1992, while the album was further repackaged and released in Japan, though both versions met with little success.[6] Following this, Sonia was moved to BMG Eurodisc's Arista Records imprint and agreed to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993.
