Bad Boy (A-Mei album)

Bad Boy is the second studio album by Taiwanese singer A-Mei. It was released on June 7, 1997, by Forward Music. Predominantly an R&B, pop and soul record, Bad Boy centers on the theme of love and relationships. The album was produced by her mentor Chang Yu-sheng with the aid of Benjamin Lin, Ma Yu-fen and Yu Guangyan. It was ultimately the last album of hers that Chang was actively involved with due to his untimely death caused by a car crash five months later. On August 17, 2018, 21 years after its initial release date, a vinyl reissue of Bad Boy was released by Forward Music.

Commercially, the album found immense success at home and abroad, topping Taiwan's IFPI sales chart for nine weeks and went on to sell over 1.38 million copies in Taiwan alone. Since its release, Bad Boy has remained the highest-selling album of all time in Taiwan. The album also managed to shift more than six million copies throughout Asia in just six months, setting a major record for the highest sales for a Taiwanese singer.

In order to promote Bad Boy, five songs off it were released as singles; the title track, "Can't Cry," "Whenever I Think About You," "Dancing Alone" and "Listen to the Sea." All five singles attained commercial success throughout Asia and are now regarded as modern day classics in the Mandopop genre. To this very day they are still sung at karaoke boxes and are often performed by contestants on major televised singing competitions. A-Mei performed songs from the album on her concert tour A-Mei Live in Concert 1998 the following year.
