The catchy songs and sounds paved the way for the band’s popularity and led to the creation of the second album Viva la Cobra! in 2007. It was with this album that band toured extensively covering countries such as London, Tokyo and Canada and played during the MTV Spring Break, Bamboozle East West. Their video for The City Is At War went into the Top 10 on MTV and headlined for the first time and sold out every show. In the summer of 2008, Cobra played the main stage of Warped Tour and sold massive amounts of neon-colored merch. To prove its rising popularity, the album art of Viva la Cobra! was used to promote the fourth generation Apple iPod nano in purple.

Following the success of the previous albums, the band released the song I Kissed the Boy, its own cover version of Katy Perry’s I Kissed the Girl. The third album, Hot Mess, was released in August 2009 and featured the hit single Good Girls Go Bad featuring Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester. The single was co-written by Kara DioGuardi and Kevin Rudolf.
