What makes What Do You Want from Me? by Monaco notable?

The album's title track became a notable hit, reaching the UK Singles Chart and showcasing Monaco's potential in the competitive Britpop scene. Its blend of alternative rock and pop elements resonated with audiences during a time when the genre was highly popular, helping to solidify the band's presence in music despite facing challenges following the dissolution of New Order. Monaco, formed by ex-New Order bassist Peter Hook, released 'What Do You Want from Me?' as their debut album in 1997. This came after Hook's initial departure from New Order, marking a significant shift towards a more melodic yet electronically tinged sound. The album aimed to establish Monaco's identity outside of the shadow of their former band.
