Atlantis Princess is the third Korean studio album (fifth overall) by South Korean recording artist BoA, released through SM Entertainment on May 30, 2003. The record spawned three singles, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government promotional single "Lights of Seoul", the title track "Atlantis Princess", and "Milky Way", with accompanying music videos produced for the latter two songs. An overseas version of the album, containing a bonus video CD, was released in several territories in Asia such as the Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Atlantis Princess is primarily a pop record with lyrics touching on themes of pursuing dreams and aspirations. It was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics, with IZM complimenting BoA's performance and the album's production. The single "Atlantis Princess" ranked number one on the music programs Inkigayo and Music Camp for multiple weeks, and won Best Dance Performance at the 2003 Mnet Music Video Festival.

The album was commercially successful in South Korea, debuting at number one on the Recording Industry Association of Korea (RIAK) album chart in May 2003, with monthly sales of 128,000 copies from two days alone.[1] It remained at number one the following month and sold over 345,000 copies in 2003, ranking as the fifth best-selling album of the year in South Korea and the second best-selling album by a female artist.

Background and release

The album's title track, "Atlantis Princess", was composed by Hwang Sung-jae and is a fast-tempo dance song that expresses a bright and hopeful message.[2] The music video for the single was filmed in Australia in mid-May 2003.[3] BoA performed the song on live television for the first time on Inkigayo on June 1.[2]

The follow-up single "Milky Way" was written and produced by Kenzie. The Japanese version of the track was included as a B-side for her single "Double" and was added as a bonus track to her third Japanese album Love & Honesty (2004). "The Lights of Seoul" is a promo CD single which was a special release given to people who attended Hi Seoul Festival in May 2003, and was introduced on the website of the Seoul Metropolitan Government as a promotional track for the organization.[4]

Reception

Lee Min-hee of IZM gave Atlantis Princess a positive review, complimenting BoA's performance and the album's production. However, a reviewer from the Daily Vault was not as impressed, feeling that there were a number of "unmemorable filler songs". Retrospectively, "Atlantis Princess" appeared at number 93 on Melon and Seoul ShinmunTemplate:'s list of Top 100 K-pop Songs of All Time[5] and number 1 on The Forty-FiveTemplate:'s list of the 45 best K-pop songs of all time.[6]
