Another song by the duo called "Mountains" was originally intended for Lewis, but was later reclaimed for Sandé's Our Version of Events. In 2012, the duo also respectively wrote and produced " Trouble", the lead single from Glassheart (2012), the third studio album by British series 3 X Factor winner, Leona Lewis. It was not until its 66th week on the chart, that the album dropped out of the top-ten. The album was also a large commercial success, selling 1.2 million copies by December 2012 and in April 2013, the Official Charts Company revealed that Our Version of Events had beaten the record for the debut album that had spent the most consecutive weeks in the top-ten on the UK Albums Chart a record previously held by The Beatles' Please Please Me album. The album would become a success amongst music critics with Metacritic awarding the album a weighted mean score of 67/100. The latter, Our Version of Events, was released in 2012 and was largely a collaboration between Naughty Boy and Sandé. 2010 would also establish Naughty Boy and Sandé's writing partnership, with the duo working on "Dreamer", "End of Days" and "Yesterday's News" for Devlin's album Bud, Sweat and Beers, Tinie Tempah's "Let's Go" from Disc-Overy, " Radio" for Alesha Dixon, "Kids Love to Dance" for Professor Green's Alive Till I'm Dead album and "Til the End" from Tinchy Stryder's Third Strike album.Ģ011 remained quiet in terms of commercial releases as Naughty Boy worked on his own album and Sandé debut album. This was followed this in 2010 with his own top-ten hit single, " Never Be Your Woman" featuring British rapper Wiley and Sandé.
He also produced a remix of British R&B singer-songwriter Taio Cruz's 2008 single " Come On Girl".
He got his big break in 2008–09, producing " Diamond Rings", a UK top-ten hit by British grime artist Chipmunk and a then-unknown session singer called Emeli Sandé. After signing as a songwriter to Sony ATV and then to Virgin Records (now Virgin EMI), Khan established his production company "Naughty Boy Recordings" and production name, and began to write and produce music commercially circa 2008. British record producer and recording artist Shahid " Naughty Boy" Khan has written and/or produced a total of 49 songs that have been assigned to artists, as well as writing and producing other material which is awaiting allocation.
