Three singles were released from the album; "Beautiful to Me", which reached number 27, "Tonight's the Night", and "Excited", which reached number 44 on the ARIA Singles Charts.[4]

The album was nominated for four ARIA Awards in 2004; Best Breakthrough Artist/Album, Best Rock Album, Best Producer, and Best Engineer.[5] Two tracks from the album reached the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2004; "Beautiful to Me" at number 8 and "Tonight's the Night" at number 78.[6]

The album features a more pop-oriented, commercial alternative rock sound than their later records, which experimented with electronic music and folk.

Background

The main thing that I wanted to do with this record was to have as much classic, memorable melody as possible. The songs are all based on feelings and emotion, for each song had a particular vision. It covers all the colours we wanted to show with a first record. BigBigLove is built from that big hole I had inside. It’s amazing how close this band has become and how fast we understand each other now. We have grown a million years in one year.

— Katy Steele, November 2004[7]

McKercher was selected to produce after Steele was impressed with his work on Augie March's debut album, Sunset Studies.

We wanted a pretty classic-sounding album; we didn't want to do anything that sounded really now.

— Katy Steele, October 2004[8]
