Keane achieved international success with their debut album, Hopes and Fears, which topped the UK chart and won the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Album. Their second album, Under the Iron Sea, also topped the UK chart and debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200.

They returned with new music in 2019, announcing their fifth studio album titled Cause and Effect and releasing the lead single "The Way I Feel". Keane is known for using keyboards as the lead instrument instead of guitar, which sets them apart from most other rock bands. They have sold over 13 million records worldwide.
