South Korea's pop superstar BoA Tuesday released her first U.S. album amid high expectations that she will be able to reenact her success story in Japan in the world's largest album market.
The self-titled album will also be released in Korea and Japan Wednesday and in China, Malaysia, India, Singapore and Thailand later.
The album contains 11 songs including flagship song "I Did It For Love," and dance tracks "Energetic," "Eat You Up," and "Look Who's Talking." The flagship song was written by Sean Garrett, the famous American producer, and its video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who has made promos for Britney Spears, Chris Brown and Eminem and won the Best Video of the Year and Best Direction in the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.
"Girls on Top," the title song for BoA's fifth album in Korea, has been arranged with new English lyrics.
