On January 1st at 5PM KST, the album being released on various music sites will carry a total of ten songs, including the title song “I Got A Boy”, previously released “Dancing Queen”, and songs of various genres from dance, ballads, retro pop, and swing jazz. Girls’ Generation’s new music and performance is expected to have a hot reaction from fans all around the world who have been waiting.
Along with the well-known European production team Dsign Music, singer/songwriter Pixie Lott, Joe Belmaati, Yoo Youngjin, Kenzie, Park Changhyun, and other local (Korean) hit makers have taken part in the album, increasing the perfection of the album. There are also songs that members Sooyoung, Yuri and Seohyun also participated in writing the lyrics for, so it’s more than enough to see Girls’ Generation’s various music colors.
The title song, “I Got A Boy”, is an electronic dance song that has a mix of pop, retro and urban genres. The hook’s addictive melody leaves an impression, and the main theme of the lyrics is “girl talk”. It carries small talk about everyday life between girlfriends, increasing the fun.
Also, the song that singer/songwriter Pixie Lott participated in composing, “Baby Maybe”, has lyrics written by members Sooyoung, Yuri, and Seohyun, and is about the nervous feelings of a girl in love, along with a cheerful melody. “XYZ”, which has an impressionable synth pattern, was also written by Yuri and Seohyun, so there is high anticipation for it.
Taeyeon and Tiffany’s duet song, “Lost in Love”, is a song that carries the sad feelings of a break-up. Taeyeon’s deep, moderated vocals and Tiffany’s colorful, impressive voice display a fantastic harmony. Girls’ Generation’s previously released “Dancing Queen” is a remake of Duffy’s “Mercy”, and “Boomerang”, from Girls’ Generation’s second official Japanese album, will be presented with new Korean lyrics as “Tell Me”.
Aside from those songs, “Promise” is a mid-tempo ballad, and “Express 999” is a retro pop song. “Look at Me” will be a song with an organic beat and playful melody, and the hook will have lyrics that are easy to sing along to. “Romantic Road” will be a swing, jazz style song that will remind you of a warm winter. A total of ten songs will be included in the album, and it is expected to charm music fans completely.
Also, on December 31st, a highlight medley for the album will be released through Girls’ Generation’s official homepage, SMTOWN’s official YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook, Weibo, and Naver. The highlight medley will contain songs from their fourth album, along with various images of the members, expecting to amplify interest in the album.
Girls’ Generation’s “Romantic Fantasy” comeback show will be airing on January 1st, at 11:15PM KST on MBC.

So excited!!!
I can’t wait for XYZ and Baby Maybe, because I loved the lyrics Yuri and Sooyoung wrote for their past songs. And Seohyun wrote lyrics as well! Super excited.
And Glass Child!!! Taeny duet!!! I love it when the two sing together, like Lady Marmalade, and I just can’t wait for this one!
Arrrgh I’m really hyped up for this! ♡♡♡
cannot wait for their come back!! too excited and now i cannot sleep :( “Glass Child” sounds really great, especially my top two favorite vocals are having a duet :D yayyyy!!! I have never before waited for new year like this hahaha, Soshi makes everything different for me and I’m lovin’ it~ ♥
Is there anyway to watch Romantic Fantasy live that day? btw, 20 more mins till the highlight medley video will be released! :D :D :D
omg Pixie Lott worked with Soshi. how freaking cool that is! i think it’s fate. TaeTiSeo sang a cover of her Mama Do song on Lee Sora’s Second Proposal and she commented later that she liked their cover. she also know that SNSD are hugely popular in Asia. oh man this is awesome. all the songs sound interesting and just making me foam at the mouth wanting to hear them so badly. btw them working with Pixie and i think their IGAB choreography was choreograph by NappyTabs, one the best hip-hop/street husband and wife dance choreographers duo, all this just seem to me as preparation for that HUGE challenge. U.S.A. and Europe challenge that is. i know that Soshi are going to do great even when there are going to be some harsh and disgusting racial backlash thrown at them. with Sones love and support, they’re going to stick it through and show that they’re tough and can with stand anything. uh so yeah i’m done. LET’S GO SOSHI! LET’S GO SONES!
Amazing <3 the songs sounds great and I'm excited for Glass Child and XYZ. I hope one day in the future SM could release an album where each girl gets to have duets or three's etc.
Sooyoung and Yuri writing lyrics again! And yay Seobaby! I had a feeling she would =)
Now I hope Taeyeon would also write lyrics to a song in the future heheh
The MV is coming out on the first but does anyone know exactly what time? I've been hearing 5PM KST, the exact same time the album will be released but I haven't seen any official news? Or did I skip past it? argh…
This is the best way to start the year
Ahh I can’t wait!! The descriptions of the songs sound awesome! What makes me most excited is Taeny’s ballad, SooSeoYul and SeoYul’s songs, and the swing jazz song!! Can’t wait for the medley which will be released today!
Can’t wait
This made anticipate more for their album. I will really look forward to Sooyoung, Yuri, and Seohyun’s song as well as Taeyeon and Tiffany’s duet. Gooosh!! I really can’t wait any longer. Jan. 1, can’t you come any faster?? palli palli!! :DD
“Taeyeon and Tiffany’s duet song, “Glass Child”, is a song that carries the sad feelings of a break-up”… :O say it isn’t so TaeNy! JK ;P
I’m really looking forward to this album. I’m surprised a about the jazz song and that some of the members wrote the lyrics, makes me very curious to hear the songs.
So it’ll air on 11pm…will there a time zone clock like last time? Korea is 14 hours ahead so I can’t tell what time I should wake up. I hope it won’t air when I work >__<
What 11.15 PM is a little late( although in Singapore it’s only 10.15 PM )!!! I start school on 2nd Jan! That’s means I have to sleep early ㅠㅠ
But hopefully I can get a sneak peek of it…
I’m SUPER HYPE now!!! Can’t wait for their comeback! <33333 (n d duet as well… ah my TaeNy mind keke)
Hi! I’m from Singapore too! You’re in primary school/sec school? :) ya, you better sleep early :) I think it will probably be uploaded on youtube! Hehe
11:15 PM? That is a late show. And early in the morning for me. May just do an all nighter tomorrow night LOL.
here is sort of a back-handed compliment…
although it is mostly the compliment than the
backhand…the plethora genres on this album
are sure to satisfy any fan’s musical cravings
for snsd! very excited for the diversity of this
album…and here is the backhand…but i imagine
the medley is going to sound kind of weird with
such dynamic types of music haha but hopefully
i’m wrong :-)
The music video will released on tonight 12:00AM KST ? :D
I seriously can’t wait for the release!!! And some of the girls helped write lyrics to some of the songs too?!?!?! Seriously this is like my NEW YEARS PRESENT OR SOMETHING!!!! And TaeNy has their own duet song?!?! NOW I AM REALLY HYPE!!
nice
Happy New Year Sones : D I can’t wait to hear the highlight medley today and the song I look foward to is probably XYZ (Seori lyrics)
Can’t wait for this!
This will be another Amazing Comeback ~!
I know that it’s going to be yet another hit album for Girls’ Generation because of course they’re Girls’ Generation for God’s sake. And I know that the comeback’s about to happen because it’s New Year’s Eve now in South Korea and tomorrow’s New Year’s Day there. So anyways, i’m so ready for Soshi to finally make their big return to the K-Pop scene. I shall give the girls all of my love and support as a true and loyal SONE
Can’t wait for the vid to come. Even more so I can’t wait for the album
Dugeun.. . dugeun….. Prepare yourself sone for tonight ……………
Our cutie maknae will be hosting MBC gayo daejun tonight, right ?
What a beautiful night …
WOW. PIXXIE LOT took part in the making? this is gonna be awesome!!
can’t wait!!
HAPYY NEW YEAR SONEs!! It’s a great start!
taeny is back!!!
Ayo Sone! It’s almost here! Soshi 2013!
Will it be internationally released?? like for example here in US??
I am pretty sure it’s going to be. Dancing Queen is on the U.S. iTunes store. And even at the end of the dance teaser it says right at the bottom 2013.1.1 Download on iTunes. South Korea does not have an iTunes music store, so that can only mean that it is going to be an international release digitally.
When will the music video be released?
Jan 1,2013
