Singles from Rock U
  1. "Rock U"
    Released: July 25, 2008

"Rock U" is the first EP from the South Korea girl group Kara. It was released on July 25, 2008. The song with the same title was chosen for the title track.[1]

This was also the first album to feature the two new members of the group; Kang Jiyoung and Goo Hara. The album also showed a big transition from the group's original "strong female" image to a "cute and natural" appeal.

History

After a 10 month hiatus, Kara returned with 2 new members 18-year-old Goo Hara and 14-year-old Kang Jiyoung, replacing Kim Sunghee who left for educational purposes. They promoted the song in the music shows KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core, SBS's Inkigayo and Mnet's M! Countdown. A new version of the song "Good Day" called "Good Day: Season 2" was released on October 13, 2008 as a digital single. A remix version of the song "What's This" entered in the special edition of the group's second EP "Pretty Girl".
