Release and promotion

I'm Your Girl is the debut album by one of South Korea's "first generation" K-Pop idol groups, S.E.S. Under S.M. Entertainment's management, it was produced wholly by Lee Soo-man. Its original release was on King Records[2] with subsequent releases by Synnara Records. Today, the album is distributed by KMP Holdings.

The lead single, title track "I'm Your Girl" features rapping by Eric Mun and Andy Lee prior to their debut with Shinhwa.[3][4] The music video remained one of the most requested ones on popular music shows of the time for 13 to 14 weeks.[2] In 2001, the song was included on S.M. Entertainment's compilation album, "SM Best Album 2".[5] It was also included on their 2003 Japanese release of Korean songs, Beautiful Songs. A remixed version of the song, featuring Japanese rapper Kreva, then a member of Kick the Can Crew, was included on the group's second single in Japan.[6]

A second single, "Oh, My Love", was released in March 1998.[2]

Critical reception

Instead of explosive sales upon release, the album sold steadily over time.[2] In total, it has sold approximately 650,000 physical copies.[1]

According to MTV Korea, "I'm Your Girl" "quickly became the Korean schoolgirl anthem, and remains a staple song for young girls in love."[7] It has been performed on television by modern idol groups such as Girls' Generation,[8] and a parody version of its music video was created by boy group EXO.[9]
