Striking up a songwriting and production partnership, they were invited to Canada to collaborate with some of their heroes.[10] Both Sheehan and O'Donoghue were involved in the production of two tracks featured on the Peter André album The Long Road Back under the name M.A.D Notes[11] before pursuing their own careers as musicians. They worked as producers in Los Angeles before moving back to Dublin, where they recruited drummer Glen Power to join their new band the Script. The band was formed in 2001 in Dublin.

It reached number one on Billboard's Adult Pop chart.[19] The Script's next three albums, Science & Faith (2010), #3 (2012) and No Sound Without Silence (2014), all topped the album charts in Ireland and the UK, while Science & Faith reached number two in Australia[20] and number three in the United States.[21] As of 2019, the band had won three Meteor Ireland Music Awards and two World Music Awards, had received two Brit Award nominations, and had sold over 20 million albums worldwide.[23] The band toured in 2022. Sheehan missed the U.S. leg of the tour. Danny O'Donoghue later attributed Sheehan's absence to family commitments.[24]
