In late 2004, Blue announced that they would be going on a two-year hiatus. This coincided with the release of their first compilation album, Best of Blue, released on 15 November 2004. However, in 2005 they confirmed that they would be splitting due to wanting to pursue solo careers.
On 28 April 2009, Blue announced that they had reformed. In May 2011, they represented the United Kingdom at Eurovision with the song "I Can", finishing 11th. They then released their fourth studio album, Roulette on 25 January 2013, followed two years later by fifth studio album Colours.
In 2022, Blue returned with singles "Haven't Found You Yet" and a cover of "Dance with Me", both from their sixth studio album Heart & Soul which was released on 28 October 2022.
