Prior to their debut, they were promoted as B1A4's sister group. OH MY GIRL released their first mini-album ''OH MY GIRL'' on April 20, 2015.
Later in the summer of that year, WM Entertainment announced a fall comeback. Member Mimi wrote lyrics for three of the songs on the album. On October 7, OH MY GIRL released their second mini-album ''CLOSER'' with the lead single of the same name. The music video featured a fairy-tale theme, with constellation-inspired dance steps. The song was met with much critical enthusiasm; it ranked at number 14 on Billboard's "20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2015". Many critics praised the whimsical feel of the song, and described the choreography as being "different" and "innovative".
Throughout 2016, many events followed OH MY GIRL. On March 28, they released their third mini-album ''Pink Ocean''. A month later, on May 26, it was reissued as ''Windy Day'' with two additional songs. On August 1, OH MY GIRL released a special summer album featuring modern covers of famous songs. The album debuted at the top of the Gaon Album Chart for July 31 – August 6, 2016, the first of any OH MY GIRL album to do so. On August 25, member JinE was revealed to be taking a temporary break from OH MY GIRL-related activities due to symptoms of anorexia. OH MY GIRL continued their contest preparations and upcoming comeback promotions in her absence.
In 2017, OH MY GIRL continued with the absence of JinE. On April 3, they released their fourth extended play ''Coloring Book''. The music video for the album's lead single of the same name included a pink whale in JinE's honor. Later in the year WM Entertainment announced JinE's departure from the group on October 30, after prolonged discussion with her parents and medical staff, who all agreed that it was best to nullify her contract so she could focus on her health. OH MY GIRL would now reform as an seven-member group.
2018 saw new heights for the group. On January 9, 2018, OH MY GIRL released their fifth extended play ''Secret Garden'' with the lead single of the same name. The song earned OH MY GIRL their first music show win on The Show on January 23 and became their biggest hit to that date, peaking at #17 in South Korea. In the summer of said year, OH MY GIRL released a sub-unit ''OH MY GIRL Banhana'' and came back as a full group in September with ''Remember Me'', continuing the success of ''Secret Garden''.
In 2019, the group debuted in Japan with re-issues of their Korean songs in Japanese. In May, they released their first studio album ''The Fifth Season'' with the lead single of the same name. The single became their second biggest hit to date peaking at #26. In August, they re-issued the album with ''BUNGEE (Fall in Love)''.
Later it was confirmed they would compete on Mnet's survival show ''Queendom''. They placed in 2nd place and acclaimed mass popularity in Korea.
In 2020, group hit astronomical success following their appearance on ''Queendom''. In April, they released their seventh mini-abum 'Nonstop' with the lead single of the same name. The track gained great success and peaked at #2 in Korea, giving them their highest peaking song and biggest hit.
On May 9th 2022, member Jiho announced her departure from the group and the company.

OH MY GIRL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 아직도 긴 꿈을 꾸고 있어
그 어떤 이에게도 말하지 못했던
아침 햇살이 날 두드리며 hello
매일 머물렀다 가는데 모르지
처음으로 너에게만 보여줄게
나를 따라 come with me bae
내 안에 소중한 혼자만의 장소가 있어
아직은 별거 아닌 풍경이지만
조금만 기다리면 곧 만나게 될 걸
이 안에 멋지고 놀라운 걸 심어뒀는데
아직은 아무것도 안 보이지만
조금만 기다리면 알게 될 거야
나의 비밀정원
너무 단순해 그 사람들은 말야
눈으로 보는 것만 믿으려 하는 걸
빗방울은 날 다독이며 잠시
내게 또 힘을 주곤 해 다정히
오늘 하루 한 사람만 초대할게
나를 따라 come with me bae
상상해봐 you and me
내 안에 소중한 혼자만의 장소가 있어
아직은 별거 아닌 풍경이지만
조금만 기다리면 곧 만나게 될 걸
이 안에 멋지고 놀라운 걸 심어뒀는데
아직은 아무것도 안 보이지만
조금만 기다리면 알게 될 거야
나의 비밀정원
아마 언젠가 말야
이 꿈들이 현실이 되면
함께 나눈 순간들을 이 가능성들을
꼭 다시 기억해줘
네 안에 열렸던 문틈으로 본 적이 있어
아직은 별거 아닌 풍경이지만
조금만 기다리면 곧 만나게 될 걸
그 안에 멋지고 놀라운 걸 심어뒀는데
아직은 아무것도 안 보이지만
조금만 기다리면 알게 될 거야
너의 비밀정원
무럭무럭 어서어서 자라나 줘 beautiful

Although it is a place she has always visited, she feels like no one else knows of its existence. The song's chorus invites the listener to follow her and see the beauty that lies within her secret garden. Although the garden may not seem like much at first, it's a place where anything is possible, and with time, one will realize its worth.
The second verse discusses how some people are too simple-minded and only believe what they see with their own eyes. However, the singer believes that a single drop of rain can give her energy to face the world. She extends an invitation to one special person to join her in her garden, where they can imagine endless possibilities together. The bridge expresses the singer's hope that her dreams will someday become a reality and that when they do, she will remember the moments she shared with someone special. The final chorus changes the possessive pronoun, "my" to "your," inviting the listener to explore their own secret garden full of surprises and beauty.
Overall, the song "Secret Garden" by OH MY GIRL is an uplifting and hopeful tribute to the inner world of dreams and hope which we all possess. The lyrics' imagery invites the listener to visualize their special place, and the song's upbeat melody encourages them to explore the full potential of their imagination.

그 어떤 이에게도 말하지 못했던
The singer hasn't told anyone
아침 햇살이 날 두드리며 hello

The singer will only invite one person today
상상해봐 you and me
Imagine you and me
아마 언젠가 말야
Maybe someday
이 꿈들이 현실이 되면
If these dreams come true
함께 나눈 순간들을 이 가능성들을
Remember the moments we shared and the possibilities
꼭 다시 기억해줘
Remember them for sure
네 안에 열렸던 문틈으로 본 적이 있어
The singer has seen inside your open door
너의 비밀정원
Your secret garden
무럭무럭 어서어서 자라나 줘 beautiful
Grow beautifully as much as you can

this song is so fucking magical and dreamy. It deserves more attention. For some reason, it makes me cry because it's so beautiful.
@rusmiliulpah3372
This is what i feel.
@snakegaming6224
yes,'magical' is the word i was searching for so long
@imtihanatq
Agree for the first line. That's what I like from K-POP song.
@traceykim1665
TOTALLY AGREE. Even i am not a Miracle, this song make my heart fluttered and suddenly crying. Idk why, but this song really touches my deepest heart 😭
@Lightyearinspace
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time, btw, try APRIL's "Wake Up", it has the same vibe too and Ily:1's "Twinkle Twinkle" is a twin of Secret Garden.
Oh My Girl and April shares the same concept, April's songs makes me happy and sad at the same time like "Hide and Seek" and Oh eh Oh.
@KenSicX
KPop definitely need more songs like this. It just become too noisy nowadays.
@camilaaraujo3312
Agreed. I Love how the melody of their songs takes form, it is mainly in vocals and not noisy instrumental
