Close Up is Joey's eleventh Cantonese studio album. The album includes Joey's No. 1 single/plug, “華麗邂逅 (Unexpected Splendid Meeting)”. This is also the first time Joey co-produced some of her songs on an album, under the name JY. It is her most successful album in terms of chart performance, with three 4 station No. 1 plugs, and two songs that placed within CRHK's Top Ten Songs of the Year, 華麗邂逅 in 2006 and 愛一個上一課 in 2007.

As compared to the Hong Kong release, the China release of the album had a song removed due to lyrics that were too sexual in nature.[1]
