Production of the album started from the release of the group's first Japanese single, "
My Heaven", in June 2009. The song enjoyed mild success; afterwards, the group's second single was released, "
Gotta Gotta Go!!" and approximately a month later, the single had sold over 30,000 copies. BigBang finished recording the album by the end of July. The song "Love Club" is the only track sung entirely in English. == Commercial performance ==
