The group's first single, "If You Feel My Love" quickly became very popular in Romania. Their second great hit was "Dear Mama". The clip was internationally released in the beginning of March, as a present for the women and mothers all around the world. The first album of the group was released in December 2008.{{cite news|url=http://www.telegrafonline.ro/1226700000/articol/70321/mihai_traistariu_si_8222blaxy_girls8221_in_concert_la_constanta.html|title=Michael Trăistariu and "Blaxy Girls" in concert in Constanta|last=Toader |first=Elena|date=15 November 2008|work=Telegraf|language=Romanian|accessdate=24 September 2009}} The album included a bonus track "If You Feel My Love (Chaow Mix)", a remixed version of the lead single which features a sample of a classic Beijing opera about Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian. This version of the song became a famous Internet meme in 2020 after it was paired with a scene from an episode of Tom and Jerry, where Tom sits on a spinning phonograph looking like a caricature of a Chinese person.
