Background

In May 2012 Wonder Girls announced their official debut into the Japanese market with DefStar Records with a Japanese version of "Nobody", "Nobody ～あなたしか見えない～". After the release of a Japanese CF for a cosmetic company Kowa in Japan for MarshPuff, a snippet of a Japanese version of "Nobody was revealed". JYP Entertainment announced that Wonder Girls has signed with a subsidiary of Sony Music Japan, under DefStar Records. JYPE stated, "Wonder Girls have received numerous inquiries from Japan and observing their advertisement and music business flourishing even without their official introduction, the members have expressed their intention for entering the Japanese market."

After announcing Wonder Girls as a spokesmodel for Kowa's new advertisement for "Marshpuff", JYPE requested the Japanese record label to listen to the Wonder Girls' released albums, including the latest singles, before deciding on the debut song. The label had strong mutual interest in "Nobody", so it was chosen as the title song for their first Japanese album.[1]
