They released only one single, "Looking for a Place" which was to be the lead single of their debut album, however due to its No. 29 UK Singles Chart placing, the planned album Do You Know Your Daughter's on the Roof? was never released. Several of their songs, including "Money in My Pocket" and "I'm Not Shy", were covered by the girl group Frank, and "Baby When You Go" was covered by Girls Aloud with its eventual release on the 2024 deluxe reissue of their album What Will the Neighbours Say?. All of Mania's songs were produced by Higgins and the Xenomania team.
