The first single of the album, "Gee" is a fast-tempo song (despite only going in 100 BPM)[3] about a girl who has fallen in love for the first time.[4] The title is supposed to be an exclamation of surprise, similar to "어머나!" (Eomeona!, similar in meaning to "Oh, my goodness!", or, more similarly, "Gee!" in English).[4] The song "Way to Go!" (Korean: 힘내!) is a new full version of Girls' Generation and TVXQ Samsung's Anycall Haptic Commercial digital single, "Haptic Motion", and an official music video was released featuring the making of music video "Gee".The MV of Gee also had SHINee's MinHo as guest appearance."Dear. Mom" was composed by Kim Tae Sung, while the lyrics were composed by his girlfriend singer Ivy, though she used the penname "The Lighthouse" in the album credits.

It eventually set a record for being number one on KBS's music show Music Bank for nine consecutive weeks. The music video for "Gee" has been viewed more than 150 million times on YouTube. A Japanese version of the song was later released on October 20, 2010.
"Gee" is a fast-tempo song about a girl who has fallen in love for the first time. The title is supposed to be an exclamation of surprise, an expression similar to “Oh my gosh”, or more similarly, "Gee!" in English. The song "Dancing Queen", from their later released 2013 album I Got a Boy, was scrapped due to copyright issues and "Gee" was chosen instead. Girls' Generation had their first promotional activity for the song on the MBC's music show Music Core on January 10. "Gee" eventually became a hit, achieving nine consecutive number one wins on the KBS's Music Bank, and eight consecutive wins on the Mnet 's chart, setting a record at the time. It was named as the "Song of the decade" by South Korea's online music website, MelOn, and chosen to be the most popular song of 2009 on Music Bank. The song has also won several major awards such as "Digital Daesang" and "Digital Bonsang" at the 2009 Golden Disk Awards, "Daesang" and "Digital Music" awards at the 19th Seoul Music Awards, and "Song of the Year" at the 7th Korean Music Awards.
