==History==

Son Dam Bi is certainly one of the most hyped names to debut in Korea. The 24-year-old newcomer had appeared in music videos for [[Paran]] and [[MYV]], along with many advertisements. She first came to fame when she appeared in a commercial for an MP3 player alongside [[Poppin' Hyun Joon]]. Before her debut, MSN Japan had a video documentary made, capturing her pre-debut training and rehearsals; it attracted 480,000 visitors in 5 days. Son Dam Bi trained especially with a well-known American choreographer in preparation for this album, and her dancing has been so impressive, people began calling her the female version of Rain.

Son Dam Bi’s highly anticipated debut single comes with five tracks that give her ample opportunity to show off her vocal and dancing talents. Her debut single "Cry Eye" was produced and composed by Jang Joon Ho, who previously wrote [[MC Mong]]'s "180 Degrees" and [[Jang Woo Hyuk]]'s "Last Game". The lyrics were provided by Brian Kim, who also penned Shinhwa’s Once in Your Life. Son Dam Bi leaves a deep impression with her husky voice, which matches perfectly with the track’s strong beat and melody.
