In order to capitalise on the momentum of "Ain't No Man", Carroll and Lowis worked on future singles and her debut album. Carroll was approached by Robert Clivillés and David Cole of C&C Music Factory who invited her to New York to become the first British artist to work with them. Carroll interrupted the writing and recording of her album to record "Special Kind of Love", which also reached number 16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Carroll released her first ballad single "So Close" in December 1992, which was another top 20 hit. In January 1993, the album So Close was released and entered the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart.

The album continued to generate a string of hits, such as "This Time" #22 and "Express" #12. One of the tracks on the album, "Don't Be a Stranger", a cover version of a song originally recorded by Chyna, was the sixth single from the album, but a new version was recorded for the single release, with the London Session Orchestra providing strings for a new backing track. This completely transformed the song, and when it was released, it became Carroll's biggest chart hit, reaching #3 and spending many weeks inside the Top 10.
