It was released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria on 14 October 2011, and in the UK and Ireland on 17 October 2011. *Footsteps 2* follows the concept with that of *[Footsteps](/source/Footsteps_(album))*, creating cover versions of the songs which have inspired him over the years, along with a few new compositions. As de Burgh said upon releasing *Footsteps*, "Listening to the great songwriters was the inspiration for me to try and become a good songwriter myself," he says. "I’m talking about the likes of Lennon & McCartney and Bob Dylan; people as good as that just don’t seem to exist any more. I learned my trade, my craft, almost at the feet of the Great Masters. And that is my musical journey. Those songs are my footsteps."[1] This album peaked at number 10 in the German album chart,[2] and reached number 38 in the [UK Albums Chart](/source/UK_Albums_Chart).[3] ## Track listing No. Title Writer(s) Original artist Length 1.
