The lead single "Juliette" is a remake of Corbin Bleu's "Deal with It".[1][2][3] The album was originally scheduled for release on May 21, and was delayed due to Onew damaging his teeth.[1][4] The EP was released in Japan on July 29, 2009, with an alternative cover and a bonus DVD featuring the music video for "Juliette". The release peaked at #39 on the weekly Oricon chart, charting for three weeks.[5]

Singles

"Juliette" is a remake of Corbin Bleu's "Deal with It".[6] The song was the second single from Corbin Bleu's first album, Another Side, and featured rapper Jay Sean (who also co-wrote the track). Executives at SM Entertainment then bought the rights to the song from Hollywood Records. The song was slightly re-arranged and composed by Cutfather and Lee Soo-Man. As the original song's lyrics were not purchased, the Korean lyrics were penned by SHINee members, Jonghyun and Minho.

A Japanese version of "Juliette" was released on August 29, 2011 as Shinee's second Japanese single with the original Japanese song "Kiss Kiss Kiss" as a B-side.[7]
