Oh My Girl is the debut extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group Oh My Girl. It was released by WM Entertainment on April 20, 2015 and distributed by LOEN Entertainment. The album was produced by Lee Won-min, CEO of WM Entertainment, with music produced by 72 and Moon Jeong-gyu. The album contains four songs, including the single "Cupid", which was released in conjunction with the album.
Oh My Girl promoted the album with a series of televised live performances on South Korea's music shows. "Cupid" was favorably reviewed by several music critics, ranking in the top 10 of the K-pop year-end lists of PopMatters and Idolator. The song was also named as one of the best rookie releases of 2015.
WM Entertainment introduced their new eight-member girl group through their official website on March 26, 2015. On April 7, the agency confirmed the album's release date and said final preparations were being made. Oh My Girl's debut EP (also called a mini album) was released on April 20, 2015, in both CD and digital formats. The accompanying music video for "Cupid", produced by Zanybros, was released the same day.
Oh My Girl's debut showcase was held on April 20 at AX Korea in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, where they performed songs from the album for the first time. The group then promoted the album with performances of "Cupid" on various music shows, starting with SBS MTV's The Show on April 21. They concluded promotions for the album on June 21, with a performance of "Curious" on Inkigayo.
The album was produced by WM Entertainment's CEO Lee Won-min, with music produced by Choi Jae-hyuk (under the pen name 72) and Moon Jeong-gyu of the Key Artist Agency, a music publishing and production company based in Los Angeles. Three of the four songs (all but "Cupid") have lyrics written by 72 and music by songwriters associated with the agency.
