Jade is the third album of Sweetbox and the second with Jade Villalon as a frontwoman. It was released in 2002 in Japan and Europe, 2003 in Taiwan, and 2004 in Korea. Although similar to Classified, the album saw new influences emerging, and showcased a number of tracks, such as "Lighter Shade of Blue", that had not sampled famous classical pieces.
A year later, a Silver edition was released with acoustic versions of some of the songs, including remixes and the re-vamped, re-done version of "Lighter Shade of Blue" that was featured on the "Here on My Own" music video, and a bonus DVD with three music videos.{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Sweetbox-Jade-Silver-Edition/release/1171444 |title=Sweetbox - Jade (Silver Edition) (CD, Album) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date=2003-03-05 |accessdate=2011-09-08}}
