In 2004, Tata continued to cultivate the mature image she had embarked upon since leaving GMM Grammy and her teen years behind her. She released her English-language debut album, I Believe on Columbia Records. The album was launched on February 14 in Singapore. More than 100 members of the international press attended her press conference.

Her second English-language album, Temperature Rising was released in August 2006, with first single, "El Nin-YO!". The album includes songs composed by Diane Warren, Paul McCartney and Natasha Bedingfield.
Amidst the album's release, Tata has shocked some older Thais with her image. A vocal critic has been Rabiabrat Pongpanich, a former senator and self-appointed culture watchdog well known for criticizing young female entertainers. "She's just showing off her breasts," Rabiabrat was quoted as saying by the Thai business daily, Krungthep Turakij. "People who go to her concerts don't go to listen to her music but are wasting a lot of money to see breasts, hips, a belly and a butt that can dance," Rabiabrat was quoted as saying by another Thai daily, the Daily News. The story drew nearly 300 responses on the newspaper's website, from both pro- and anti-Tata camps, according to an Associated Press article.[4] It is widely believed that Tata Young had plastic surgery around this period.
Starting December 2006, Tata Young was featured singing her third single from 'Temperature Rising' "Come Rain, Come Shine" as the station identification track for Asian English-language television channel STAR World's station identification. It was replaced by a song by Mika.
In 2007, she recorded her single "Zoom" in Simlish for the top-selling PC game The Sims 2: Seasons.
Tata has also lent her voice to humantarian causes, including the AIDS program of Father Joe Maier's Human Development Foundation and MTV's Exit campaign to end human trafficking.[5][6]
In early 2008, Tata Young released her sixth Thai album. The headline single "One Love" was released on Valentine's Day.
[edit] Breaking into Europe and Australia: 2008-present
Young has been working on her junior studio English album for quite a while since the beginnings of '08 in Berlin, Germany, working with Sony BMG Europe. The records have unofficialy announced including 15 tracks, and most of them will be the pop-dance beats, similar to her previous records. The songs in this new record will be a lot more upbeat and more "fun" than One Love.[7] She has also announced that "this is her favourite album, it's also the best album she'd ever made before, the beats will help the album climbing up the charts all around the world easily, it has got to be the best one." Moreover, one of the tracks is also written by Timbaland's "right hand" as well.
The release date of the first single is still unknown, but it has been announced that the album released has again been delayed and will be on sale from July 2009. The album is expected to have a similar feel to Tata Young's first English album, I Believe. The record's main target is going to be Europe and Australia, not like her 2 previous records which were launched in Asia.
Demo tracks of four new songs have surfaced the internet. These songs include 'My Bloody Valentine', 'Suffocate', 'Rain' and 'Exposed'. Many sources believe that these tracks were retrieved from the procers and that they are only sung by a guide's voice. One in particular sounds very much alike Tata Young, that one being titled as 'My Bloody Valentine'. The song itself is rumoured to be Tata's first single from her upcoming english album. No confirmation of the real singer yet but ASCAP has credited Tata as a performer for the song though it does not give it justice. 'My Bloody Valentine' has somehow entered the Indonesian Charts and Tata Young has been credited as the singer with the label Sony BMG. The radio stations throughout Indonesia has played it numerous times and with great responses it has even reached the hot seat at number one in some local radio stations.
