"Place in My Heart" was released as Set the Mood's lead single on October 22. The album was released simultaneously in the UK, France and Germany a week later. Set the Mood and Jordan received many positive reviews following the album's October 29 release. The singer was dubbed the British version of Justin Timberlake, and compared with artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Prince and Michael Jackson.
Production
Prior to recording Set the Mood, Jordan had written between 60 to 100 songs, within a four year time period. The singer's record company then chose the best 11 songs for the album. "Sun Goes Down" was written when the musician was 16 years old. Jordan stated that the song was about the parties he and his friends held at Old Street Studios in London, and what he would see there. "It's about when the sun goes down in London, all the madness starts." The album was produced by Trevor Horn, who has also produced for Seal and the English dance-pop band Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Horn assembled the album over 18 months before the final product was created. Jordan praised the producer, stating, "He's everything people say he is; he's a genius really and I'm having a great time working with him". Jordan discovered by Horn's wife, Jill Sinclair, co-founder of ZTT Records. Initially, Jordan was not aware of who Horn was. "My reaction was, 'Who?' I'd never heard of ABC, Seal or Frankie Goes To Hollywood. I wasn't aware of Trevor's amazing track record but when I discovered who he'd been involved with I felt honoured."

Place In My Heart
by: RazeNothing compares to a mother's love
A hiding place when push comes to shove
Cinderella's dreams, diamond rings
I try to fill my heart, with earthly things
Still there is a place that seems so empty
It's the deepest part of me that only you can fill
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
But it's so hard to let it go
Just the other day, I turned my thoughts astray
From a history of reason to give my heart away
This thought progressed through time, the path seemed unkind
Lonely and clear it overwhelmed my mind
And if I release this part of me, dear Lord
Is it true what You say am I received as Your child
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
But it's so hard to let it go
Life is hard, this world is cold, I need you more and more today
I build up walls to stop the pain it still won't go won't go away
Surrendering on bended knee this part of me I surrender to you
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
And I wouldn't let it go
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
And I wouldn't let it go
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
And I wouldn't let it go
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
And I wouldn't let it go
There's a place in my heart, that I want you near
It's a place in my heart, I hold most dear
There's a place in my heart that wants you so
