She made it to the charts with the single "One" in July 2014 which was a critical success, topping all four major music charts in Hong Kong. AGA recorded a duet version of the song with singer Gin Lee, titled "One Plus One". "One" was released as a CD single on November 11, containing the original, duet, and voiceover (劇場版) version (which featured renown singer Eason Chan).
