18... is the debut studio album by Chinese-Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M., released on October 27, 2009, by Forward Music.[1] The album contains 12 songs that spans various genres and styles such as pop, R&B, soul, and rock ballads.

Background and release

18... was simultaneously released with the limited edition, 18 Plus.[2] The 18 USB was initially released for G.E.M.'s 18 Live Concert on November 11, 2009, however, it was later put on general sale.[3] Due to the popularity of the album, it was republished as the 18... (3rd Edition).[4][5] The release includes a bonus track titled "Smoking, Drinking & Swearing" (食煙飲酒講粗口).

18... (Taiwanese Edition) was released on April 5, 2010. The edition consisted of three additional Mandarin tracks (one titled "寫不出的溫柔" and two tracks previously released on her self-titled EP). It was also released with a limited edition version.[6]
