Against the Light (Chinese: 逆光) is the ninth studio album by Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun. It was released on 22 March 2007, by Capitol Music Taiwan, which was under EMI at the time.[1] It is her first and last record to be released under that label. Produced by Paul Lee, Peter Lee and Sun herself, its musical style is mainly based on Mandopop music with some influences of rock and Britpop music.

A commercial success, the album sold over 1.5 million units throughout Asia. In Taiwan, it sold more than 130,000 units,[2] becoming the second highest-selling album by a female artist and the third highest-selling album overall in 2007.[3] The album earned five nominations at the 19th Golden Melody Awards, with the nominations being for Song of the Year, Best Mandarin Album, Best Lyricist, and Best Arrangement—Sun was also nominated for Best Female Mandarin Singer. After the album's release, Sun went on an extended hiatus and did not release another musical project for four years until It's Time.[4]
