On June 24, Core Contents Media released a 59-second teaser of T-ara's title track "Roly-Poly". The video was released three days earlier than originally scheduled, due to the request of fans. The full 12.5-minute music video was released on June 28. Musically, "Roly-Poly" was considered a remake of the Bee Gees' "Night Fever", and the video's choreography was called reminiscent of Saturday Night Fever, which starred John Travolta.
Chart performance
In August 2011, "Roly-Poly" had become the top-grossing song of the year until that point with over $2 million in sales.
