[3] "Miss You", the lead single of the unit's first EP, was originally titled "When It Began" and was written as a duet song for Shinee.
The final plan was to include Jay Kim of the TRAX and new SM trainee, Jino, and the song title officially became "Miss You".
Entertainment revealed, TVXQ's Max Changmin, Super Junior's Yesung, Zhang Liyin, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, Super Junior-M's Zhou Mi, f(x)'s Krystal and Exo's Chen gathered to release a new EP together with original member Jonghyun.
On February 12, 2014, the members of SM the Ballad – with the exception of Changmin and Yesung – held a joint recital concert, performing the new songs from their album.
The app includes preview tracks of the album, an image gallery and clock, as well as the music videos for "Miss You" and "Hot Times".
