In March 2011, The Wanted released the official 2011 Comic Relief charity single, "Gold Forever", which peaked at number three in the UK and number 13 in Ireland. "Glad You Came", the Wanted's fifth single, was released in July 2011 and became their second number-one single in the UK and their first in Ireland; it also charted in the US, Australia, and Europe. In October, their sixth single, "Lightning", debuted and peaked at number 2 on 23 October 2011. This was followed by second album Battleground, which got to number 5.
In 2012, the band released "Chasing the Sun", the lead single from their then-untitled third studio album and the theme song of the animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012). Four further singles were released, including top 5 hits "I Found You" and "Walks Like Rihanna", before long-awaited third album Word of Mouth finally dropped in November 2013. After the album only reached number 9 in the UK and number 17 in the US, the band announced an indefinite hiatus.
The band reunited in September 2021 and released their first greatest hits album in November 2021, which included two new songs.
