Album production
The production of Accident Prone started in April 2005 at the Farmhouse Studios. Losco said, "I enjoyed writing this album so much. Howard and I worked on it for a month, then we were off on tour for three months, which really inspired us to write the last few tracks for the album. When we came back, we went into the studio and recorded the last four songs. Accident Prone is a real account of how our lives have been these last few months!" This album is "versatile, strong and deep, revealing a more mature Ira Losco". Contribution for the production of Accident Prone came also from a series of co-writing sessions with American and Swedish songwriters.
Touring
The first tracks of Accident Prone were recorded just before Losco started her summer 2005 tour in Germany. Performing for audiences ranging from 25,000 to 80,000, she was a supporting act for well-known artists like Elton John, Melanie C, Ronan Keating, Simple Minds, and Katie Melua. Losco said, "Touring has been an incredible experience. It has given me unbelievable confidence, a tough skin and an insatiable hunger for success! I also feel I’ve taken my performing and song-writing skills further throughout this busy summer!" Losco's band accompanied her throughout the tour. A video clip containing various footage of her tour was later posted on her site.
