Lee became well known in South Korea as a member of girl group Fin.K.L, who made their debut under DSP Media in May 1998 with the album Blue Rain. However, the group's activities began to slow down following the release of their fourth studio album Forever in March 2002. The members of Fin.K.L began exploring individual activities beginning in 2003, thus putting group activities in a temporary hiatus.{{cite web |date=March 28, 2003 |script-title=ko:[신작 DVD 포커스] 핑클 라이브 콘서트 |trans-title=[New DVD] Fin.K.L releases live concert |url=https://news.naver.com/main/read.naver?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=105&oid=029&aid=0000022214 |access-date=November 30, 2021 |website=Digital Times |language=ko |via=Naver}} Lee embarked solo career with the release of her debut studio album Stylish...E on August 13, 2003, spawning the lead single "10 Minutes".{{cite web |date=August 13, 2003 |title=Stylish... – Album by Lee Hyori |url=https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=32463 |access-date=November 29, 2021 |publisher=Melon |language=ko}}

The first lead track, "10 Minutes", is a R&B and hip hop number. It was composed by Kim Do-hyun who also composed "That's Right" from Shinhwa's 11th album The Classic in 2013.{{cite news|last=Lee|first=Sun-min|title=Shinhwa’s latest album tops charts|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2971658|access-date=May 21, 2013|newspaper=Joongang Daily|date=May 17, 2013|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629135646/http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2971658|archive-date=June 29, 2013}} The song's lyrics were penned by MayBee, with the lyrical content conveying how Lee can seduce a man in only ten minutes.{{cite web |last1= |first1= |date=August 12, 2003 |title= |script-title=ko:이효리 '애인 강탈' |trans-title=Hyori Lee "robbing her lover" |url=https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20030812090032363 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211120200536/https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20030812090032363 |archive-date=November 20, 2021 |access-date=20 November 2021 |website=Ilgan Sports |language=ko |via=Daum}}{{cite web |last1=Choi |first1=Min-young |date=August 25, 2003 |title='두얼굴'의 매력 이효리 |trans-title=The charm of Lee Hyori's 'duality' |url=https://news.naver.com/main/read.naver?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=103&oid=032&aid=0000029943 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211120200509/https://news.naver.com/main/read.naver?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=103&oid=032&aid=0000029943 |archive-date=November 20, 2021 |access-date=November 20, 2021 |website=Kyunghyang Shinmun |language=ko |via=Naver}} The lyrics were originally for a song by hip hop group {{Ill|People Crew|ko|피플 크루}}, but were instead given to Lee Hyori.{{Cite news |last=Kim |first=Ji-yeon |date=2006-10-13 |title= |script-title=ko:MC몽, "이효리 '10 Minutes'는 피플크루 가사였다" |url=https://v.daum.net/v/20061013100512224 |access-date=2024-08-04 |work=OSEN}} Upon its release, the music video was banned by SBS from public broadcast due to its "erotic" choreography.{{Cite web |date=August 26, 2003 |script-title=ko:이효리 "방송퇴출" |trans-title=Lee Hyori 'banned from broadcasting' |url=https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/M0Ih26sNfD |access-date=November 20, 2021 |website=Ilgan Sports |language=ko |via=Daum}}

"Hey Girl" was the follow-up single; the video was banned on some networks due to its sexual imagery, although Lee said that it was the same as her first video and therefore she did not see why this had to be banned. The single was not performed as frequently as the first one, and promotions for the album were completed soon after. Originally, "Eve, Sleeping in Paradise" was intended to serve as the second single for the album. A music video for the third single, "Remember Me", was also released.

In 2021, "10 Minutes" was ranked the 16th best K-pop song of all-time by Melon and Seoul Shinmun.{{cite web |title=Top 100 K-pop Masterpieces: 10 Minutes – Lee Hyori |url=https://www.melon.com/kpop100/detail.htm?detailSong=481199 |access-date=November 2, 2021 |publisher=Melon |language=ko}} Rolling Stone ranked the single "10 Minutes" number 24 in their list of the 100 greatest Korean pop songs all time, remarking how she became "an inescapable presence in Korea around the release of her solo debut." The publication compared the song to the music of Aaliyah and Jennifer Lopez, describing it as a "groovy, synth-fueled R&B-pop perfection" and a "change from the cutesy music she performed with Fin.K.L".{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-07-20 |title=The 100 Greatest Songs in the History of Korean Pop Music |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-korean-pop-songs-1234727955/10-minutes-lee-hyori-1234731573/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}} The music video for "10 Minutes" won the Most Popular Music Video (daesang) at the 2003 Mnet Music Video Festival.{{cite web |title=Winners from 2003 Mnet Asian Music Awards |url=http://mama.interest.me/history?type=winner&year=2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121029010721/http://mama.interest.me/history?type=winner&year=2003 |archive-date=October 29, 2012 |access-date=July 15, 2016 |publisher=Mnet Asian Music Awards' official website}}

Commercially, the album was reportedly in such high demand that 70,000 copies were pre-ordered. The album's success allowed Lee to become the highest-paid female artist in South Korea at the time. It debuted at number three on the RIAK monthly chart for August 2003, selling 79,361 copies in the first month of its release. It sold 144,182 copies by the end of 2003, making it the 15th best-selling record of the year in South Korea. It sold an additional 9,408 copies in 2004 according to the RIAK charts. At the 18th Golden Disc Awards, the record was one of the Album Bonsang (main prize) winners and was nominated for the Album Daesang (grand prize).{{cite web |date=December 5, 2003 |script-title=ko:조성모 골든디스크 대상 |trans-title=Jo Sung-mo Golden Disc Awards |url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=022&aid=0000016472 |access-date=November 20, 2021 |website=Segye Ilbo |language=ko |via=Naver}} It has since sold over 150,000 copies.{{cite news|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2016/05/143_135220.html|title=Lee Hyo-ri is Miss Korea in new album|last=Byung-yeul|first=Baek|date=May 6, 2013|access-date=July 13, 2016|work=The Korean Times}}
