Once Upon A Time is S.H.E's 8th album. It was released on November 25, 2005. This album experiences music styles featuring European myth elements such as a musical composition by Mozart in "Don't Wanna Grow Up" as well as Greek elements in the lyrics of "Laurel Tree Goddess". "Don't Wanna Grow Up" became one of S.H.E's most significant hits of their career. "Super Model" was used to promote Daphne Shoes' D18 line of shoes, while "Laurel Tree Goddess - Daphne" served as a general promotional song.[1]
"Once Upon A Time" sold over 1 million copies in Asia.

[edit] Music videos
Directed by Jay Chou, the music video for "Not Gonna Be Your Friend" touches upon themes of male homosexuality, not unlike the video for "Belief" in Youth Society. Selina, Hebe and Ella are three girls who are fawning over a male friend of theirs, only to find out that the friend is gay and already has a boyfriend.
