Background and release
On June 13, 2012, Core Contents Media announced that the group would be releasing a new EP entitled Day By Day on July 3.[4] The EP marked the debut of T-ara's eighth member, Areum. 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.[5] 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;[6] reminiscent of the movie Mad Max.[7] 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.[8] The second part of the music video was released in August, 2012. The song reached number 2 on the Gaon Weekly Digital Singles Chart[9] and the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[10]
A repackaged version of the EP, titled Mirage, was released on September 4, 2012. It contained two additional tracks, the singles "Sexy Love" and "Day and Night (Love All)" (낮과 밤; Najgwa Bam).
A Japanese version of "Day by Day" was digitally released on September 26, 2012, and was included as a B-side on their fifth Japanese single, a Japanese version of "Sexy Love".[11]
