Agent J (Chinese: 特務J) is the ninth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. It was released on September 21, 2007, by EMI and Mars.[1] It was produced by Lars Quang, Nik Quang, RnG, Adia, Paul Lee, Michael Lin, Paula Ma, and Jamie Hsueh.[2] It was released alongside the film of the same name, which was directed by Jeff Chang, Marlboro Lai, and Kuang Sheng, and stars Kim Jae-won, Stephen Fung, and Carl Ng.[3]

The album received generally unfavorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated the experimentation with a variety of musical styles but criticized its production and composition. It saw commercial success in Asia, where it reportedly sold nearly 3 million copies throughout the region.[4] In Taiwan, it sold more than 200,000 copies,[5] becoming the highest-selling album of 2007.[6] Producer Adia won a Golden Melody Award for Best Single Producer for "Agent J," while Andrew Chen won a Golden Melody Award for Best Music Arrangement for the same track.[7]
