My Voice is the first studio album by South Korean singer Taeyeon. It was released on February 28, 2017, by S.M. Entertainment and distributed by KT Music. There are two physical editions of the album with similar tracklist but separate covers and booklets. Musically, songs on My Voice are based on Taeyeon's vocals and incorporate various genres including pop, pop rock, and PBR&B. Prior to the release of the album, a music video for "I Got Love" was released on February 18, 2017 as a promotional tool.
The title track and lead single "Fine" was released simultaneously with the album on February 28. To promote My Voice, Taeyeon performed "Fine" on three music programs–Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo from March 3 to 5. The album was well received commercially, peaking atop South Korea's Gaon Album Chart with first-week sales of 109,275 physical copies.
On April 5, 2017, a Deluxe edition of My Voice was released. Apart from the original tracks, this edition adds Taeyeon's past hit single "11:11", and three new songs including the single "Make Me Love You".
Since debuting as a soloist in October 2015 with the successful extended plays I and Why as well as chart-topping digital singles "Rain" and "11:11", South Korean singer Kim Tae-yeon (known by her mononym Taeyeon) has risen to prominence and established herself as the country's most popular individual celebrity of 2016. On February 14, 2017, Taeyeon's agency S.M. Entertainment announced that her first full-length studio album would be released in the end of February. A day later, the agency released promotional photos and a short trailer of the music video for a new song titled "I Got Love", which was set to be the album's pre-released track. On February 20, 2017, the album's title was revealed to be My Voice, with the title track being "Fine".
