Title song
editThe title song of the album "My Pride" was originally an English commercial song "Proud of You" by another Cantopop artist, Fiona Fung in 2003. Joey Yung was then requisitioned to record the commercial in Mandarin and later recorded the full song in Cantonese. Shortly after, Yung released a Mandarin version of "My Pride" titled "Girl Fluttering Her Wings" (揮著翅膀的女孩). The song has earned more than 50 awards in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.[4] In 2010, "My Pride" was covered by Hong Kong a cappella group Metro Vocal Group in their album Music for a Metropolis.[5]
