The band completed their second album Modern Life Is Rubbish in December 1992, but Food Records said the album required more potential hit singles and asked them to return to the studio for a second time.
The band complied and Albarn wrote " For Tomorrow ", which became the album's lead single.
" For Tomorrow " was a minor success, reaching number 28 on the charts.
Modern Life Is Rubbish was released in May 1993 and peaked at number 15 on the British charts, but failed to break into the US Billboard 200, selling only 19, 000 copies there.
Despite the albums poor performance, Albarn was relatively happy with the bands new direction and started writing prolifically for Blurs next album.
Parklife was released in 1994 and revived Blur's commercial fortunes, with the album's first single, the disco-influenced " Girls & Boys ", receiving acclaim and chart success.
Parklife entered the British charts at number one and stayed on the album charts for 90 weeks.
Enthusiastically greeted by the music press, Parklife is regarded as one of Britpop's defining records.
Blur won four awards at the 1995 Brit Awards, including Best Band and Best Album for Parklife.
Coxon later pointed to Parklife as the moment when " went from being regarded as an alternative, left field arty band to this amazing new pop sensation ".
