    Turn Me On is the Korean solo mini album debut of Kim Kyu-jong of South Korean boy band SS501. It was released on September 27, 2011 under B2M Entertainment and distributed by LOEN Entertainment. On October 28, the album was also released in Taiwan by Warner Music Taiwan.

    Background and development

    Following the other four members of SS501, Kim was the last to debut as a solo artist after he left his former agency DSP Media in October 2010. While the other members released their own solo albums in the early 2011 one by one, Kim was concentrating on his acting career. Since their last album Destination in 2010, the only time that Kim got active in music was during his and Heo Young-saeng's Kyu Jong & Young Saeng Story joint fan meeting in Seoul and other countries across Asia. Kim was also featured in Heo's debut solo album Let It Go in the song "Rainy Heart", though he was not seen in the music video.

    On September 19, B2M Entertainment announced Kim Kyu-jong music comeback with the release of his own solo album. During this time, Kim had been busy with his Goong musical, a spin-off of the Korean television drama of the same title, at the Kyoto Minami-za, Japan. Nevertheless, Kim participated in the album's concept and song production. In the same day, photo teasers for his upcoming album were released.

    Turn Me On

    by: Norah Jones

    Like a flower waiting to bloom
    Like a lightbulb in a dark room
    I'm just sitting here waiting for you
    To come on home and turn me on
    Like the desert waiting for the rain
    Like a school kid waiting for the spring
    I'm just sitting here waiting for you
    To come on home and turn me on
    My poor heart, it's been so dark
    Since you've been gone
    After all, you're the one who turns me off
    You're the only one who can turn me back on
    My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune
    My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
    I'm just sitting here waiting for you
    To come on home and turn me on, turn me on
