The album was his second to top the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart, and peaked at number 41 on the UK Albums Chart.
Speight released his third album, Love & Light, in August 2023. The album focussed on Speight's personal experiences and on living life to the fullest, and was preceded by two singles, 'The One' and 'Let Go'. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 66.
