Background information

This is the first album that is not produced by Joseph Chan, Liew's longtime collaborator. Instead Liew decided to co-produce this album with Tony Kiang.[1] Liew veered away from the normal conservative cantopop ballads and europop dance songs and instead came up with this concept album surrounding sex, adultery and lust.[2] The Naked Feeling is often referred to as Liew's most risqué studio release as the theme is considered taboo in Chinese culture. The album's content ultimately hurt the airplay of the third single, Afterwards 事後, which deals with sexual pleasure. Several radio stations including RTHK Radio 2 banned this song from their playlist due to its explicit nature. However, Commercial Radio Hong Kong promoted the song on heavy rotation.[1]

Despite its mature content, the album still sold relatively well in Hong Kong, ensuring Gold Record status certified by the IFPI.[3] This is the only Liew studio album released under Current Records/BMG Music that was not re-issued as part of the Legendary Collection in 2005 by Sony BMG.
