Secret - Secret Time (1st Mini Album)
Release Date: 2010.03.31
According to Secret’s label, the final-made product’s features like colors and its packaging in general were far off from the original design they sent to the factory. Although a huge risk follows in terms of production budget, they’ve decided to remake the album, therefore destroying over 5,000 copies that have already been printed.
This is not completely bad news, as the company also confirmed that the album will still be released online on the 1st together with the music video. Furthermore with music shows canceled en masse this week, it was just as well that Secret would make their comeback in the 2nd week of April instead.
01. My Boy
02. Magic
03. Spot Light
04. 알아서 잘해요
05. I Want You Back (Acoustic version)

송지은Secret’s mini-album Secret Time released!
by BEASTmode on April 1, 2010 
After an arguably long absence from the music scene, girl group Secret made their comeback with a bit of magic, literally. Undergoing a radical transformation from their debut image, the foursome unveiled their new look through the MV of their title song Magic, which was released earlier today.
It seems like their upcoming mini-album is no longer a secret anymore as all the tracks of Secret Time have been revealed for the public hearing.
Like their title song, Spot Light is an upbeat, pop song with addictive beats that will easily compel you to hit the repeat button. While Magic and Spot Light may have veered away from their usual genre of music, the talented quartet reminded listeners of their powerful singing abilities through slower and more mellow songs like My Boy and Do As You Please (알아서 잘해요).
Acoustic versions of I Want You Back and 3 Years 6 Months (3년 6개월) were also included, putting a different spin on their debut songs that retained the group’s soulful vocals.
