Victory were first introduced to the public on 11 March, 2013. Their debut single was slated for a May release, with the album following in July. The group's big break came as they performed their debut single "Yo Yo Girl" on Comic Relief. The boys soon attracted the attention of Next Generation Records label owner, Coral Harris who arranged for the boys to perform for her, leading to them being signed to the label. "Yo Yo Girl" was released on 27 May 2013 and became a massive success, debuting at #2 and staying in that position the following week. The group's second single, titled "Boombox" features their mentor Coral Harris and is due for release on 22 July 2013. In August 2013, the band revealed their debut album would be titled "Electric Gold" with a release date of 16 September 2013. Upon it's release, the album debuted at #2 on the album charts.
