[edit] Background

"A Man In Love" is the first song by Super Junior that simultaneously released a remixed version along with the original. Although not an official released promotional single, the remixed version of the song was chosen to be a semi-promo single for the repackaged versions of Don't Don. Super Junior made their first performance of "A Man In Love" on November 17, 2007 at the 2007 M.NET/KM Music Festival. They performed the same song a second time at the 2007 Golden Disk Awards on December 14, 2007. On December 31, 2007 they completed the year by performing the same track on a countdown special for KBS.

[edit] Music style

"A Man In Love" music style emphasizes the huge influence of tribal instruments with a mixture of modern hip hop music, rhythm and blues and urban pop with a combination of soul music.[1] Percussion instruments such as the traditional African djemba and the Indian tabla were heavily used throughout the song to heighten the dynamics and tribal theme.[2][3] The Korean gayageum was used to support the melody and chorus of the song.[1] The remixed version of "A Man In Love" includes an extended rap bridge in the beginning of the song and a drum instrumental performed at the middle of the song.

The choreographed dance provided for the song is intense, as the choreography requires frequent jumping, stomping, and also extreme street dancing.
