Up until now, each song on every CNBLUE album including the title track have consistently been a major hit with the fans, and this album is no different. For this new release, they've included their pre-released track "Still In Love", in addition to their title track "Hey You", and the Korean version of their Japanese hit "In My Head". Each track is receiving positive responses from the public and fans.

Meanwhile, CNBLUE's Japanese major debut single "In MyHead" has currently sold over 100,000 copies in Japan and has been acknowledged by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) as a 'Gold Album'. Additionally, their second Japanese single "Where You Are" set a new record in Japan, being the first time in 41 years a foreign rock band secured the #1 spot on the Weekly Oricon chart.

Congratulations to CNBLUE on all of their achievements.
