She released the mini album, Out of the Box, the title being a play on words of the departure from Sweetbox, to critical acclaim in 2007. Her latest album, Bittersweet Symphony, being the 7th original album she's released in her entire career as a singer, proved she continued to make the right career choices, as the album reached high positions such as #15 on the Oricon charts. She re-released Out of the Box in Korea, containing some of the tracks from her original album of the same name, as well as many tracks of Bittersweet Symphony. She also re-recorded the song "You Don't Know Me" with guest vocalist Kim Dongwan for this release, which was also included on his own album, The Secret; Between Us.
After her continuing success, Jade released the famous Christmas carol 'Holy Night' in Korea near the end of 2008, for the holiday season. She also released information in a video on her official website, that two new albums are to be expected in 2009, and that The Cheetah Girls used a song, on their recent album, that Jade had written in 2003.
In mid-April of 2009, Jade Valerie and Geo confirmed they had started a new project, entitled Eternity ∞, and that it was their goal to return to a sound found on their early Sweetbox albums: pop meets classical. Releasing the self-titled album Eternity ∞ on June 2, 2009, the album featured every song sampling a classical piece, many using pieces previously used in Sweetbox, such as Canon in D Major by Pachelbel and Solveig's Song by Grieg.

Jade Valerie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A moment of peace
But if I find a minute alone now
Know that the guilt is
just waiting for me
So I'll let the city take over
And enfold me deep
And let all the lights
Till they fill up my mind
And let me forget about me
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
And let me forget about me
I'm looking out
and I'm running out on a balcony
I'm wondering why
Yeah I'm feeling guilty
Yeah I'm feeling guilty
But theres not enough of me
So hey hey hey
I'm looking out
and I'm running out on a balcony
I'm wondering why
Yeah I'm feeling guilty
Yeah I'm feeling guilty
But theres not enough of me
So hey hey hey
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
Come undone
<>
Here comes the
sunrise to find me
Still chasing the night
Escape into dark vacant places
Where there's just enough
haze to blindfold my eyes
Cause I let the city take over
The music runs wild
So dont even try to
come find me
Tonights for the child
Who wants to be
wreakless and free
Who wants to be
wreakless and free
Let's drift away
Let's drift away
Let's go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
Let go and get away
And come undone
Our time to drift away
And come undone
Let's go and get away
And let me forget about me
Our time to drift away
Let's go and get away
And let me forget about me
Our time to drift away
And come undone
The song "Undone" by Jade Valerie speaks about the struggles of taking a moment of peace in the bustling city life. The opening lines of the song suggest that while the singer desires a moment of solitude, the guilt of leaving their responsibilities behind makes it impossible to do so without feeling overwhelmed by the thought of being disconnected. The subsequent lines reveal a desire to give in to the city's cacophony, to let go and forget about oneself. The chorus acts as a release to the central tension, calling to "drift away" and "come undone" - to seek respite in letting go.
The second half of the song's lyrics see the singer chasing the night, seeking solace in dark, empty places that mirror their inner turmoil. The music runs wild, and they seek to escape those looking for them. The song plays on this idea of uncompromising freedom, of losing oneself, and finding a moment of peace. Overall, the song lyrically reflects the tension between the desire to be present to oneself and the need to fulfill external obligations.
Line by Line Meaning
If I take a minute alone now
If I find a moment of solitude
A moment of peace
A moment free from chaos and stress
But if I find a minute alone now
However, if I do manage to find that minute of solitude
Know that the guilt is just waiting for me
I am burdened by a feeling of guilt
So I'll let the city take over
To escape this feeling, I'll immerse myself in the city
And enfold me deep
I'll surround myself with the busy city life
And let all the lights just run by me
I'll let the lights of the city just pass me by, washing away my worries
Till they fill up my mind
Until the lights occupy and fill my mind
And let me forget about me
Making me forget about my troubles and focusing only on the moment
Let's go and get away
Now, let's escape together
And come undone
Let us let go of our worries
Our time to drift away
It's our time to just go with the flow
And come undone
To be free from our burdens
And let me forget about me
To forget about oneself and live in the moment
I'm looking out and I'm running out on a balcony
I am trying to find clarity by standing outside on a balcony
I'm wondering why
I'm trying to figure out what's troubling me
Yeah, I'm feeling guilty
I'm plagued by a sense of guilt
But there's not enough of me
I feel overwhelmed, like I do not have enough energy to properly address all that troubles me
So hey hey hey
I am trying to lift my spirits even in the midst of feeling weighed down
Let's go and get away
We should escape from our troubles together as friends
Our time to drift away
It's a chance to let go of our worries and just be in the moment
And come undone
To be free from our troubles and stressors
Let go and get away
To release oneself from their troubles in order to escape
Here comes the sunrise to find me
The next day is approaching, and I must still face reality
Still chasing the night
I am still trying to avoid the problems from the night before
Escape into dark vacant places
I'll seek refuge in quiet spaces and avoid the hustle and bustle of the city
Where there's just enough haze to blindfold my eyes
Where it's still hazy enough that I could be carefree and forget about reality
The music runs wild
The music is lively and invigorating
So don't even try to come find me
Don't bother looking for me as I am trying to escape and just forget about everything
Tonights for the child
This night is meant for us to be silly and carefree, just like children
Who wants to be wreckless and free
We desire to live wildly without fear or consequence
Let's drift away
Let's forget about reality and live in the moment
And come undone
To be released from our troubles and just enjoy the present
Let's go and get away
Together, we should make an escape
Let me forget about me
I need to forget about myself and my troubles in order to truly live in the moment
And come undone
To liberate oneself from troubles and just be in the present

@Alectrick1687 Well, I really believe this is Jade, but I also do believe that Lindsay could come out with something that's as genious as this.. I mean, a lot of artists have heard the album she's made in 2007/-08 and all commented positively, think Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, which I know for sure..
