Ivor Novello Award for "Most Performed Work".[5] Scissor Sisters also collaborated on two songs, "Lights" and "Paul McCartney", with
Carlos Alomar.[6] In 2007, an unofficial demo album, K-Mart Disco, was released by Atom Records. It consisted of songs recorded by the band prior to the release of their debut album.[7][8]
Night Work, the band's third studio album, was released in 2010. The first single released from Night Work was "
Fire with Fire", which Babydaddy and Shears wrote in collaboration with
Stuart Price.[9] Price co-wrote eight other songs for the album, including the singles "
Any Which Way" and "
Invisible Light".[9] American singer
