As 2007 began, the group came out with a third single, "OH MY JULIET.", which was the 2nd ending theme for the Red Garden anime. On March 7, they released their first EP, "GLITTER LOUD BOX".
They released their fourth single, "BOYS & GIRLS" in June 2007, featured as the opening theme for the anime Reborn!
Their fifth single, "LIAR LIAR/Sentimental PIGgy Romance," saw an October 2007 release, while their sixth single, "Bell the CAT", was released in December of the same year.

Love Me?
LM.C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die,
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress,
Apocathery, Devil's behes'
I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake,
Fallin slave to passin desire,
Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die.
She had the looks of a beauty queen
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume.
I said, "Good mornin", I tipped my hat,
All the while I was cunning like a rat,
Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye,
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die
My past history, one to behold,
I studied magic from days of old,
Membership, secret societies,
Power and wealth in my family
But Matilda, Darling,
Why you don't take my wedding ring,
Like a demon under the floor,
I buried the hoodoo down the back door.
Lawd, word broke through the town,
That a fever strike Matilda down,
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive,
Priest come runnin, quarter to five.
Standin in the weeds early next day,
I saw the meat wagon rollin away,
I seen Matilda layin in the back,
Her old mother wearin a suit of black
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,
I wait for me judgement to come,
I know her spirit is down beneath,
I hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth.
Flames of Hell licks at my feet,
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat,
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too,
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.
The song "Love Me?" by LM.C tells a story of a man who delves into studying the dark arts and finds himself using a hoodoo charm called "Love Me or Die" on a woman he meets in the jungle. The charm is made of some fingernail and a piece of her dress and is said to have the power to make someone fall in love with the person who possesses it or die. He meets Matilda, a beautiful woman with a broken shoe and a 75 cent bottle of perfume. The man, cunning like a rat, approaches her with the charm in his pocket, and she falls in love with him. However, things take a turn for the worst as Matilda falls ill, and everyone in the town blames the man for using the charm on her. Matilda dies, and the man is left haunted by the guilt of his actions and the knowledge that he will face judgment for what he has done.
The lyrics of "Love Me?" are very vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of a dark and dangerous world where the consequences of one's actions can lead to eternal damnation. The song warns against the dangers of dabbling in the occult and using magic for selfish gain, as it often leads to tragedy and ultimately, destruction. The hoodoo charm serves as a metaphor for the man's greed and desire for control, which ultimately leads to his downfall.
