Promotion

"Magic" was first used as a promotional track from the album. On March 29, 2010, a teaser video was released online. In the teaser, the girls were performing a dance track called "Break Time". The final music video premiered on April 1, 2010 along with Secret Time 's release.[2] Due to printing errors, the physical release for their mini-album was delayed for five days but was released online on various music portal sites. The music video reached 1 million views on video sharing sites such as YouTube and Cyworld and the “Suspender Dance”, which was featured in the music video teaser for "Magic", gained popularity amongst netizens.[3]

Like their title song, Spot Light is an upbeat, pop song with addictive beats that will easily compel you to hit the repeat button. While Magic and Spot Light may have veered away from their usual genre of music, they show their powerful singing abilities through slower and more mellow songs like My Boy and Do As You Please. Acoustic versions of I Want You Back and 3 Years 6 Months were also included, putting a different spin on their debut songs that retained the group’s soulful vocals.[1]

Secret had their debut performances of "Magic" on Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS's Inkigayo from April 8 to April 11.
