I Want Happiness?

I Want Happiness? (Chinese: 我要快樂; pinyin: Wǒ Yào Kuàilè) is the thirteenth studio album by Taiwanese recording artist A-Mei. It was released on February 17, 2006, by Warner Music Taiwan and was her final release with the label. After her 2004 album Maybe Tomorrow underperformed on the record charts, A-Mei took a one-year hiatus from the entertainment industry to study abroad in Boston, Massachusetts to return afresh. Eric Chen served as the sole producer of I Want Happiness. The album saw A-Mei return to her early lyrical style, featuring pop ballads with acoustic and stripped-down instrumentations. She sought to connect with her audience through heartfelt love songs that resonated with her fans.

In contrast to Maybe Tomorrow, which underperformed commercially and led to a career slump, I Want Happiness saw success in both sales and critical reception upon release, propelling A-Mei to another peak in her music career. The album sold 160,000 copies in Taiwan, becoming the seventh best-selling album of 2006. In mainland China, it was named the top-selling record of the year with sales of 970,000 copies. The album went on to sell over 2 million copies across Asia. A-Mei promoted I Want Happiness with a series of live performances throughout 2006.
