Emerson Drive once again recruited Richard Marx to produce their second album, What If ?.

The album's first single, " Waitin ' on Me ", was released to Canada only in late 2003 and followed shortly by " Last One Standing ", released in both Canada and the United States, in January 2004.

While the band recorded their second album, they opened most North American shows on Shania Twain's Up!

Tour.

The tour began on September 25, 2003 and ended on July 10, 2004.

The group's second album was released in June 2004 and debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

Despite having success in Canada, the band was struggling in the United States and were dropped from DreamWorks in late 2004.

Universal Music Group closed the struggling DreamWorks Nashville the following year.

The group was able to release two more singles from What If?

in Canada through Universal Music Canada in 2005.
