British songwriter, producer and arranger Mike Batt signed Melua to his Dramatico recording and management label after she performed at a showcase at the Brit School for the Performing Arts in early 2003. Batt was looking for a young artist capable of "performing jazz and blues in an interesting way". Melua went into the studio soon after with Batt as the producer. She recorded songs written by Batt, John Mayall, Delores J. Silver, herself, Randy Newman, and James Shelton. Melua wrote "Faraway Voice" about singer Eva Cassidy. "Belfast (Penguins and Cats)" refers to Melua's upbringing in Belfast, Northern Ireland: "Penguins" referring to Protestants and "Cats" to Catholics.

It spent 87 weeks in the ARIA Top 100, certified Platinum for shipments of 70,000+. First single "The Closest Thing to Crazy", written by Batt, reached the top five in Ireland, top ten in the UK, top twenty in Norway, and top fifty in Australia. The second single from the album was the title track, "Call Off the Search", which gave Melua her second UK top twenty hit. The third single, a cover of Mayall's "Crawling up a Hill", was released on 18 July as the third single in the UK. In the UK the album sold 1.2 million copies within its first five months of release, making it four times platinum. It spent six weeks at the top of the chart.

Katie Melua - Call Off The Search (AOL Sessions), 24.02.2004. A wonderful vrs (inlove) :).
Here's the lyrics:
I won't spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
And I won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
Out on my own
I would never have known this world
That I see today
And I've got a feeling
It won't fade away
And I won't end my days
Wishing that love would come along
Because you are in my life where you belong
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search x2

I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place Seven thousand eyes are watching Marching home and no one’s touching Army of the city workers Secretaries, lawyers, brokers Heading for a London station Heading for a quick salvation Oblivious to cherry cola Trying to sell to every stranger Stuck here it’s cold I’m standing Hoping for some understanding Only way to go is inside I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place Seven thousand light years travel Let my sense of time unravel Trapped feelings are never ending Send those weaknesses descending Towards the earth’s red centre Let the fire rise and enter Tap into the primal power Rising like a giant tower The energy receiving Cut a hole right through the ceiling People getting smaller as you fly I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy I’m going to find a happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy Place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place Find a star, send down a beam to where you are An elevator of light taking you somewhere Where you’ll always be loved I have found that stress and nonsense Puts me in zone of avoidance Could my mind be moving faster Pulling like a super cluster Can be hard to trust a feeling But believing ends in seeing We’re going to find a happy We’re going to find a happy We’re going to find a happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place (I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
