Discography
Before officially debuting, GLAM was featured on 2AM’s song Just Me from the group’s 2010 album, Saint o’Clock. GLAM and BTS were also featured artists on Lee Hyun’s song Bad Girl from the singer’s 2011 album, You Are Best of My Life. On July 16, 2012, GLAM officially debuted with the release of their first single, Party (XXO). The song was produced by Bang Shi Hyuk and Pdogg.
On August 31, 2012, GLAM appeared as guests in the Korean Serious Game Festival (KSF) 2012, in Seongnam City Hall to perform their debut single live.
On January 2, 2013, GLAM released their second single, I Like That. They incorporated hip hop and powerful dance moves into the song. This song was actually a recreation of Why Do You by Chu-li and Mi-ae.
On January 22, 2013, they uploaded a video of them performing the acoustic version of I Like That to their official Youtube channel. This comedic video had an intro of them playing around and, later on, a small screen in the corner of the video showed all the members playing different music instruments while singing live to the song. They also changed the title from I Like That to I Like Jordan.
On March 15, 2013, GLAM made their third comeback with the single album In Front of the Mirror, which combined genres including Europop, trot, and hip hop. This song showed a story of a girl whom not many people realize that behind all the glamour, there is a girl who tries to hide her imperfections, but in front of her mirror, alone, her pride is hurt.
In February 2014, GLAM uploaded a short clip of them recording the song Give It 2 U. Sadly, this was their last song before the group officially disbanded.
Aside from their official single album comebacks, in 2012 GLAM also released the song The Person I Miss for the soundtrack of the Korean drama, Five Fingers.
