ReWiggled marks the final Wiggles-related project that Emma Watkins was involved in, as she departed from the group a few months prior to the album's releasehttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-58963895.
The album was announced on 15 December 2021. In a press release, Anthony Field said: "It's been really enjoyable and also so humbling, hearing all these wonderful artists doing their versions of Wiggles songs – they're all so very talented. And it's been a real thrill to get back in the studio together with all the Wiggles – the current members and the OG's – to record some cover versions of our own". A five track sampler was released digitally on the same day.
ReWiggled debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart, becoming the Wiggles' first number-one album in Australia.
