On the title track "Gereoji Mayo," which means "Don't do it" in Korean, Park sings of the pain from falling out of a relationship.

Eight tracks were written by Park herself, Sony Music said.

Renowned recording artists, such as Jung Jae-won and Cho Jung-chi, chipped in during the album's production.

Park, 35, debuted in 1997 and soared to stardom in the early 2000s from hits, including "Skyblue Dream" and "Coming-of-Age Ceremony." She transformed herself into a singer-songwriter, beginning with her seventh album released in 2009. (Yonhap)
