After releasing a top single in Japan last September, T-ara revealed their plans of releasing a follow-up single at the end of November. When the single was confirmed as a Japanese version of their Korean hit song "Yayaya", many fans were curious to the reason behind this choice.
With T-ara's last Korean promotions being "Roly Poly", many Japanese fans expected the same song for the next single and were confused to see it was only going to be a b-side track. Core Contents Media responded to the fans' questions by saying that "it isn't definite that we do not plan to have activities for 'Roly Poly' in Japan, we only added in the Korean version as a b-side for now. We are still only in the early stages and have yet to pick out a song that will come after 'Yayaya'."
Many Japanese fans of the girl group were convinced that "Roly Poly" would be the most suitable concept for Japan, with its uniform and outfit concept. Core Contents further added that the decision to have "Yayaya" as the 2nd Japanese single was decided by the girl group's Japanese label to coincide with other Japanese releases by Namie Amuro, KAT-TUN, Daichi Miura and more, on the same day, planning to show T-ara's own colors and style. "T-ara's Japanese record label made a strategical decision, and was very analytical about choosing it."
At the same time, T-ara is now preparing for their Korean comeback with "Cry Cry" and "lovey-dovey"

Shinsadong Tiger recently made an interesting confession on ‘Win Win‘ concerning the single he produced that launched T-ara into stardom: “Bo Peep Bo Peep.”
T-ara’s Soyeon appeared as a guest on the show and commented of the track, “I knew it was going to get big after I first heard ‘Bo Peep Bo Peep’. I thought that as unique as the song was, people would notice it.” Shinsadong Tiger then stated, “To be honest, I was embarrassed giving the song to them. I wondered if it was okay because the words ‘bo peep bo peep’ were repeated so often.”
Eunjung of T-ara then added, “When I first heard ‘Bo Peep Bo Peep’, I thought ‘What is this?’” Shinsadong Tiger joked, “I made it while I was staring at toilet paper.”
Brave Brothers was also a featured guest in the episode. Extra: Roly Poly is inspired by a cracker named "Roly Poly"
