My Pride is Joey's fifth Cantonese studio album. This album does not only have quality non-plugs (non-singles), but all the songs plugged became hits, most notably My Pride (我的驕傲) which was considered 2003's biggest hit in the Hong Kong/Chinese music industry. This album is also famous for starting Joey's interlude trend in her later albums (most of them included interludes), though this is the only album where all tracks had interludes (with the exception of the Mandarin version of My Pride and Joey's duet with Deep).

[edit] Song
Proud of You/My Pride (Chinese: 我的驕傲) is a title of a popular Cantopop song sang by the Cantonese female vocalist Joey Yung. This "golden song" has brought Joey more than 50 awards in different parts of the world such as the USA, Canada, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, etc. The Mandarin version of this song is titled 揮著翅膀的女孩. The song was originally a 30 second English Commercial song sang by a girl named Fiona Fung. The song was then changed to a 30 second Mandarin Commercial song sang by Joey (note that this is different from 揮著翅膀的女孩). Finally, this short commercial song was changed to a full Cantonese pop song (also sang by Joey), and this was the version that was plugged/promoted and later on topped the charts, becoming a hit and dominating the music awards.
