TVXQ 's fourthKorean studio album, released on September 26th, 2008. The album had been in production since 2007, but the title was not decided upon until January 2008.The choreography of 주문 (MIROTIC), the title track of the album, was done in a collaboration between Korean choreographers and Kenny Wormald, who’d also worked with pop stars Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Christina Aguilera.
"MIROTIC" is a newly coined term that combines the Korean MIRO (미로), meaning "maze", and the English suffix "-tic".
The title song was composed by the Danish producers, Remee, Lucas Secon and Thomas Troelsen. The German singer, Sarah Connor, also bought the copyright to the song (not specified when). She released her version of the song, "Under My Skin", on August 1st. This resulted in some controversy, mainly due to some listeners believing that TVXQ had "covered", "plagiarized", or "sampled" Connor's song. However, SM Entertainment has disclosed that TVXQ had finished recording the song in June 2008 (two months prior to Connor's release) and that the Danish producers had sold the song as a 50/50 deal (Connor is supposed to receive her copyright for Europe while TVXQ is supposed to receive their copyright for Asia). Therefore, neither of the two songs are "covers" nor "samples" of each other.
Despite the fact that the two original songs were the same composed piece, they have musical differences (TVXQ's version has a rap and multi-layered harmonies while Connor's has a bridge; the melodies in the chorus also differ).
