Their comeback was a mini-album entitled "Loving U". The mini-album contained the title track, "Loving U (러빙유)", produced by Duble Sidekick, one new song "Holiday (홀리데이)" and remixes of the groups' past hits ("Alone", "Ma Boy", "So Cool", "How Dare You" and "Push Push"). Sistar released the music video of "Loving U" on 28 June. Shortly after its release, "Loving U" achieved an "all-kill" by topping all major online music charts in South Korea.

Sistar's second full album, "Give It To Me" was released on 11 June with a title track of the same name. Sistar represented South Korea in the ABU TV Song Festival on 26 October at ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam performing the title track from their latest album "Give It to Me".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SISTAR’s “Hey You” revolve around a woman who is on a mission to make the man of her dreams fall in love with her. The first verse, sung by Hyorin, is her telling the man to take things slow and break it down while she knows what he is looking for. She then mentions that although she may appear weak and indecisive, she knows what she wants, and that is the man with the perfect body and who can earn her respect. The woman, played by Bora, who raps the second verse, talks about how she knows the secrets of men and how they are always trying to be sneaky and peeky despite putting up a front. She tells the man not to be fooled by any other woman and that he will not find anyone who is better than her.

The chorus sung by Hyorin is the woman asking the man to stay by her side and make him hers, while Soyu and Dasom’s verses mainly compliment the previous verses. The bridge is a warning to the man not to stare at her too long as it will make her nervous and jittery. The lyrics are simple in their message, but it’s the rhythm and the catchy tune that makes it perfect for dancing and singing along. The song’s meaning is a common trope in pop culture, that of a person trying to win over the person they are interested in.
