Me (Chinese: 迷; pinyin: mí) is the first studio album by Mandopop boy band Super Junior-M. Me was released in CD stores in selected provinces of China starting April 23, 2008. A Korean version of the album with three bonus Korean tracks was released in South Korea on April 30, 2008. Modified versions of the album were distributed in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and other Asian countries on May 2, 2008.
Avex Taiwan released an Asia Deluxe Edition repackage of the album on August 1, 2008, which not only includes the three bonus Korean tracks, but also a DVD.
Super Junior-M is Super Junior's third official sub-unit after Super Junior-K.R.Y and Super Junior-T, and debuted in China on April 8, 2008 with the release of their first promotional single, "U", a Mandarin remake of Super Junior's 2006 best-selling Korean single, "U." The album was recorded in Korea and took over three months to complete. Henry, a new addition to Super Junior-M, contributed in the album with violin instrumentals while Zhou Mi, also a new addition to the group, composed the lyrics of three tracks.
Unlike the original version, the title song "U" involved new incorporations of a new jazz swing style, with new acoustic guitar arrangements and an added hip-hop dance bridge and violin bridge. Other remakes in the album, such as "Miracle", "Full of Happiness", "Don't Don", "Marry U" and "A Man In Love" are all previous hit singles by Super Junior, and are re-arranged to sound more suitable for the Chinese language, however nonetheless, keeping close to original K-pop vibe. "At Least There's Still You" (至少還有你) is a remake of Sandy Lam's 2000 hit single of the same name. The song is rearranged to a more elegant and modern arrangement, with gentle harmonization that the original single did not have. New tracks such as "Me", "Love Song", "In my Arms", and "The Moment" showcase a variety of music styles representing Super Junior-M's balance in pop music. "Me" is exhilarating modern rock style dance music with refreshing rhythm and an acoustic guitar accompaniment. It is also the album's second single. "Love Song" is a medium tempo dance song with light-hearted lyrics and melodies. "In my Arms" is a mellow R&B ballad with a powerful tempo drum beat; however, it brightens the song with a dreamlike melody and chorus. "The Moment" is a fast dance track with sensuous rap and splendid string incorporation. The last track, "The One", is a composition dedicated to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The ballad incorporates a magnificent and rich chorus behind the melody of a grand violin accompaniment.
