The choreography of "주문-Mirotic," the title track of the album, was done in a collaboration between Korean choreographers and Kenny Wormald, who had also worked with pop stars Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Christina Aguilera.[4] The song features a "reverse beat" track, meaning that the bass beat is either a half beat or a whole beat late in coming into a new phrase. While in most genres of music, the bass note comes in directly on the first beat of the measure in setting the chord of the phrase, reverse beat songs alter this usual method. In doing so, the reverse beat genre is said to have an effect of "growing on" the listener, having an addictive sound.
"Mirotic" is a newly coined term, created by member Hero Jaejoong, that combines the Korean miro (미로), meaning "maze", and the English suffix "-tic".
The title song was composed by the Danish producers, Remee, Lucas Secon and Thomas Troelsen. The German singer, Sarah Connor, also bought the copyright to the song (not specified when). Despite the fact that the two original songs were the same composed piece, they have musical differences (TVXQ's version has a rap and multi-layered harmonies while Connor's has a bridge; the melodies in the chorus also differ). "Mirotic" is one of the most successful singles ever in South Korea, in 2008 the song was downloaded 2,337,864 times. By the end of 2011 the song was officially downloaded 4,173,225 times.

The lyrics to DBSK’s song “Mirotic” convey a sense of attraction and obsession towards someone, where the singer’s desire for their lover is so strong that they feel as though the other is “under their skin.” The opening verse describes the singer being drawn to their lover in a sweet and gentle way, but then the chorus explodes with energy, asking what love is and declaring that it's already deeply rooted inside them (represented by the phrase “Red ocean”). The second verse features more intense imagery such as “Chrome heart” which could be interpreted as a reference to someone’s hard exterior that the singer is able to penetrate. Additionally, the lyrics depict the singer’s fascination with and possession of their partner, represented by the refrain of “I got you- Under my skin.”
