===''Hot Like Wow'', 2007 to 2008=== Oh's debut album ''Hot Like Wow'' was produced by Space Cowboy and released in the United Kingdom on 13 April 2008 by Tiger Trax Records, with songs featured on the American TV shows ''Ugly Betty'', ''Gossip Girl'' and ''So You Think You Can Dance''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Zbzpra1Dw |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/R5Zbzpra1Dw| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=SYTYCD Season 5 Week 2 Kayla and Max, Pop-Jazz |publisher=YouTube |date=2010-11-08 |accessdate=2020-05-17}}{{cbignore}}</ref> On 16 July 2011, the title track "Hot Like Wow" was featured on ''So You Think You Can Dance'' for the second time. The album was preceded by three singles: "My Egyptian Lover", "Something 4 The Weekend" and "N.A.D.I.A Oh" from 2007 to 2008. The album was however supported by the release of the single, "Got Your Number", that bought her international attention on the American TV series, ''Gossip Girl''.
