The Shinee World (stylized as The SHINee WORLD) is the first studio album recorded by South Korean boy band Shinee. It was released on August 28, 2008, under SM Entertainment. The album contains twelve songs, including the lead single, "Love Like Oxygen". On October 29, 2008, the album was re-released under the title Amigo with three additional tracks.

Concept and composition

For their first studio album, Shinee showed a more mature and masculine image compared to their debut concept.[1] Many top producers and songwriters such as Yoo Young-jin, Kenzie and Wheesung participated in the production of the album. It includes twelve songs with different genres such as R&B, urban and pop.[2]

The lead single, "Love Like Oxygen", is a remake of a song by Danish singer Martin Hoberg Hedegaard, originally titled "Show the World". It features a disco-based funky rhythm that is reminiscent of Michael Jackson and a drum pattern that commonly appears in American R&B music. The lyrics compare changes in love to ice, water, and oxygen in order to express the pain of letting go of someone.[3] Yoo Young-jin's song "The Shinee World (Doo-Bop)" is characterized by a powerful beat and melody.[2] Jonghyun's first solo "Hyeya (Y Si Fuera Ella)" is a cover of "Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?", originally sung by the Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz in 1997.[4] "One for Me" is an urban R&B style song written by Wheesung.[2]

Release and reception

The Shinee World was released on August 28, 2008,[2] preceded by lead single "Love Like Oxygen" on August 22.[3] With "Love Like Oxygen", the group took first place on M Countdown on September 18, 2008, which brought them their first win on a South Korean music show since debut.[5]

On October 29, 2008, the album was reissued under the title Amigo with three additional tracks: the title track, "Forever or Never" and a plugged version of "Love Should Go On". The title track was released digitally on October 24. In addition to meaning "friend" in Spanish, "Amigo" (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".Script error: No such module "Category handler".) is a shortened version of the Korean phrase "You will suffer if you fall in love with a beautiful woman" (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".Script error: No such module "Category handler".).[6] "Amigo" was choreographed by Misha Gabriel, an American dancer, choreographer, and actor.[7]

The album was commercially successful in South Korea; it debuted at number three on the MIAK monthly music chart, selling 30,000 copies.[8][9] Since its release, The Shinee World has sold over 80,000 copies.[10] The album was awarded Newcomer Album of the Year at the 23rd Golden Disc Awards in 2008.[11]
