History

On April 16, 2010, it was revealed that Kara would release a cheer song for the 2010 FiFA World Cup composed by Han JaeHo and Kim SeungSoo, who also produced "Mister" and "Lupin".[2] Behind-the-scenes and individual member teaser videos revealed the following week along with photos of Kara wearing cheerleader outfits.[3] The song and full music video were released on May 3, 2010.

However, because it was part of SBS's project and is used as the background music for the campaign, the music video was announced to be banned from being broadcast on two other major channels MBC and KBS on May 20, 2010.[4]
