Their Danish debut single Fascination was a major hit in Denmark during the summer of 2007. A second single 10,000 Nights saw equal success, just like their eponymous debut album that went platinum in Denmark.
Their sound is mainly retro 80s melodic pop, taking inspiration amongst others from Deacon Blue and Prefab Sprout, with distinctive overlay of male and female harmonies.
Their native success attracted the attention of several major labels from larger markets abroad, and Alphabeat were eventually signed to EMI's Charisma Records label in the United Kingdom. Their British debut single, Fantastic 6, was released on 26 November 2007. Several popular British publications have praised Alphabeat including NME, The Sun, The Observer Music Monthly, Digital Spy and Popjustice.
The band was offered to play as a warm-up for the Spice Girls during their reunion world tour 2007-8, but declined the offer, feeling that it would be "too weird" to suddenly play in front of a very large audience unfamiliar with the band's music.
On 2 March 2008, the song Fascination reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart on download sales alone, and on 9 March 2008, following its physical CD release, it climbed to number seven, the following week it rose to number six. The band's debut British album was entitled This is Alphabeat.

The song "Vacation" by Alphabeat talks about the desire to go on a vacation with a loved one, leave behind all the troubles, and have a good time. The lyrics express a sense of excitement and freedom that comes with the idea of getting away from it all. The singer wants to be close to their partner and spend time together, no matter where they go, as long as they are on vacation. They encourage their partner to let go of their worries and enjoy the moment of being away from their regular lives.
One interpretation of the song is that it is about the importance of taking a break from the everyday routine and spending some quality time with the people we care about. It is a reminder that we all need a break sometimes and that it can be good for us to get away from our regular lives and have a change of scenery. The song encourages us to take the time to recharge our batteries and relax, which can help us come back to our regular lives feeling refreshed and renewed.
