2009, Year of Us is the third extended play (EP) by South Korean boy group Shinee. It consists of six tracks and it incorporates alternative rock and hip-hop music genres. The digital version of the album was released on October 19, 2009, with a physical release on October 22. The title track, "Ring Ding Dong", was released on October 14, 2009, through various music sites.
Songs
[edit]The EP contains six songs, including the title track "Ring Ding Dong", which is an afro-electro song that combines the beat of African congo drums with the sound of an electro synthesizer. It is the work of Yoo Young-jin.[1] The lyrics of the song describe the situation of unconsciously falling in love with someone. The phrase "ring ding dong", which is repeated numerous times throughout the song, is a cartoon-like expression for a bell ringing in someone's head at the very moment of falling in love.[2] In an interview with Big Communications representative Jung Young-jin, it was revealed that because of its catchy hooks and repetitive nature, "Ring Ding Dong" was named the number one banned song before college entrance exams in South Korea.[3] In addition, the album contains songs of various genres such as "JoJo", a eurodance song composed by Kenzie, and the swingbeat song "Shinee Girl".[2] The EP also features Onew's first solo song, "The Name I Loved", a ballad song based on alternative rock featuring veteran singer Kim Yeon-woo.[4] Luna of f(x) also makes an appearance on the hip-hop song "Get Down" with Key and Minho.[5][6]
Release and reception
[edit]2009, Year of Us was Shinee's first release after a five month long absence from the K-pop scene. It was their third EP, with their last being Romeo in May 2009, and was supposed to show a new style for the group as well as the vocal talent of the members.[7] The digital version of the EP was released on October 19, 2009,[8][9] with a physical release on October 22.[10] Before its release the album recorded 60,000 pre-orders.[11]
The lead single, "Ring Ding Dong", was released digitally on October 14[12] and charted atop of several Korean music charts and gained popularity all over Asia.[13][14] It was written by Yoo Young-jin. The group had their debut performance of the song on October 16, on KBS' Music Bank.[2] Misha Gabriel, who previously worked on the group's song "Amigo" in 2008,[15] also choreographed "Ring Ding Dong".[16] The music video was shot in early October on a set in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, and was directed by Cho Soo-hyun.[17] "JoJo" was promoted alongside "Ring Ding Dong" as the second promotional track from the album.[18][19]
The EP was released in Japan on January 20, 2010, with an alternative cover and a bonus DVD.[20][21] The release peaked at number 40 on the weekly Oricon chart, charting for three weeks.[22]
