Production
Production of the album started from the release of the group's first Japanese single, "My Heaven",[3] in June 2009.[4] The song enjoyed mild success; afterwards, the group's second single was released, "Gotta Gotta Go!!" [5][6] and approximately a month later, the single had sold over 30,000 copies.[4] BigBang finished recording the album by the end of July. The song "Love Club" is the only track sung entirely in English.
