Fellow Korean group 2NE1, just finished the first ever international tour by an all-girl group in K-Pop history.

In a track by track review last week the music magazine described "I Got A Boy," as, "polished K-pop confections that combine elements of forward-thinking EDM (electronic dance music), classic and modern R&B, 80s new wave, and more".

Girls' Generation released mega-smash, "Dancing Queen," a remake of Duffy's 2008 U.K. hit "Mercy," on December 21, 2012, about a week and a half before the album dropped.

It marked a comeback for Girls' Generation after a 9-month hiatus, thus ensuring the success of the, "I Got a Boy," album and single.
