Both the EP and its title track were released on July 3. "Day by Day" was written by Kim Tae-hyun and produced by Cho Young-soo and Ahn Young-min, who have all previously worked with T-ara on songs such as "Cry Cry" and "Neo Ttaemune Michyeo". Before its official release, a choreography video in which "Day by Day" can be heard in was leaked onto YouTube in late May 2012. The music video for "Day by Day" was directed by Cha Eun-taek in Seoul, South Korea. It was announced on June 12, 2012, as a 20-minute music video drama starring the group themselves in a science-fiction setting; reminiscent of the movie ''Mad Max''. A large amount of work was needed to complete the computer graphics featured in the video, which caused its release to be delayed by 13 hours. The second part of the music video was released in August, 2012. The song reached number 2 on the Gaon Weekly Digital Singles Chart and the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Korea K-Pop Hot 100 Music Chart Billboard.com (Week of July 21, 2012) )〕 A repackaged version of the EP, titled ''Mirage'', was released on September 4, 2012.
