Brave (Chinese: 勇敢; pinyin: Yǒnggǎn) is the eleventh studio album by Taiwanese singer A-Mei. It was released on June 27, 2003, by Warner Music Taiwan.[1] The album was produced by Xu Guangyi, Jae Chong, Will Lin, Eric Chen and Martin Tang.[2] Lyricists include Chen Jiawen, Xia Mu and others, and composers include Tanya Chua and others.[2] Brave incorporates musical genres such as pop, R&B, hip hop, dance, jazz, reggae and ska.[3] Around the time of the album's release, A-Mei landed her first major acting role by starring as the heroine of the movie Brave, with the album's title track serving as its theme song.[4]

Brave is the only studio album by A-Mei to date to not receive a nomination for a Golden Melody Award. Despite that, Brave still ended up becoming a commercial success. It was the eleventh best-selling album of 2003 in Taiwan with over 170,000 copies sold,[5][6] and sold 1.6 million copies throughout Asia in total.[2] To help promote the album, A-Mei embarked on a series of live performances and appearances throughout Taiwan.
