"Sexy Love" (Korean: 섹시러브) is a single by South Korean girl group T-ara and the lead single from their seventh mini-album Mirage. It was released by Core Contents Media on 4 September 2012. This is the first Korean single released by T-ara without its former member Hwayoung. The song was released in Japan and served as the first single from the group's second Japanese album Treasure Box.

Background and release

Korean version

In mid-July 2012, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media stated that after "Day by Day" promotional schedule was over, a follow-up single arranged by Shinsadong Tiger would be released on 15 August. On an episode of T-ara's "Star Life Theater" broadcast by KBS on 17 July, a picture of T-ara's recording was revealed with former member Hwayoung also participated in the recording. However, due to Hwayoung's removal from the group, it was not until 30 August 2012, that the official album cover and concept photos of the seventh mini-album Mirage were released. The music video trailer for the single "Sexy Love" was also announced on the same day.[1] On September 6, T-ara performed a comeback performance of "Sexy Love" and "Day and Night" on the live music program M Countdown, and officially launched the promotion schedule.

Japanese version

On 14 September 2012, T-ara released the Japanese version of "Sexy Love" as their fifth single in the country. All songs were later re-released under the group's second full album Treasure Box. The single was released in three versions: Limited Editions A and B with a DVD, and a regular edition. Each edition included a Japanese remake of a previously released song. Regular editions A & B come with DVDs containing music videos and other content.[2][3]

Commercial performance

The single peaked in the top five on both the Korean and Japanese charts. The Japanese version peaked at number 4 on Oricon singles chart and charted for a total of 10 weeks.[4]
