The album features production by J-Remy,Jose E Duran, Robert Larow, Bobby Bass and Alan Sampson. It was recorded in New York and London and mixed by "Supa Engineer Duro" with Jordan "DJ Swivel" Young in New York City.[3]

Reception

Critical reception

Like Me Against Myself the album received similar reviews. BBC noted: "From one angle Ride It – Jay Sean's comeback single from last year – saw the Hounslow-born artist in exactly the same place as he was when he broke through in 2003 with Dance With You: Talking about cruising the clubs and making eyes at the ladies."[4] The Guardian said: "My Own Way is a decent record, but erroneously titled...He has lost - not for ever, one hopes - the stuff that made him stand out."[5]

Chart performance

The album peaked at number six in the UK Albums Chart.
