XOXO (album)

Like all of the group's music, the album was released in two versions – a Korean "Kiss" edition and a Chinese "Hug" edition.
Two singles were released from XOXO: "Wolf" and "Growl", the latter being the lead single off the album's repackaged version released on August 5, 2013. Both singles went to chart in the top ten of the Gaon Singles Chart, and "Growl" peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.

Background
The album's lead single, "늑대와 미녀" ("The Wolf and the Beauty"), known in English as simply "Wolf", was composed by Will Simms, Nermin Harambasic from Dsign Music and S.M. Entertainment resident songwriter Kenzie. Kenzie also provided the lyrics for the Korean version of the song while Zhou Weijie penned the lyrics for the Mandarin Chinese version, "狼与美女". Yoo Young-jin provides background vocals. The dance for the song was choreographed by Tony Testa. In several shows such as Arirang's After School Club, the members explain that the dance has 3 elements: the trees and forest, the caves, and the wolf itself. Member Kris revealed that it took them approximately 3 to 4 months to get the choreography down, due to its level of difficulty. A demo version of the song was leaked in February 2013, in response to which producer Ryan Jhun later gave a warning to illegal downloaders on May 29, 2013, "...I will report it to FBI and service department for all links...".
Lucky (Nada Surf album)
Lucky is the fifth album by alternative rock band Nada Surf. It was released on Barsuk in 2008.
Recording
Frontman Matthew Caws said, "I feel like it is a pretty heavy record, and that is a product of John Goodmanson, the guy who made it because even the songs that were even moderately rocking – now that they are mixed and mastered, they feel like they are really kickin’ even when they are relatively quiet, so that’s thanks to him. I think it is a little heavier than Let Go, but it’s not as heavy as The Proximity Effect."
Cover
In 2007, the band issued a statement asking for testimonies revolving around the word "Lucky", in order to include them to the album artwork.
Release
The album was met with moderate success and favorable reviews. Lucky reached #82 on the Billboard 200. The single, "See These Bones", was listed by The Times as one of London's Best Songs of 2008, and described it as "2008's most overpoweringly propulsive and gloriously euphoric song".
Details
The song "See These Bones" premiered on the Anti-Hit List Podcast on October 20, 2007. Due to a misquotation of Matthew Caws, the album was first expected to be called Time for Plan A.

The film starts in Kingston, Jamaica, where Lieutenant Horatio Hornblower has been imprisoned for mutiny. He is then visited by his former captain, Commodore Sir Edward Pellew, and he explains how he came to be in prison.
The film then flashes back to 6 months earlier, when Horatio is 3rd Lieutenant onboard HMS Renown, under the command of the famous Captain James Sawyer - an elderly captain, a hero from the Battle of the Nile and a pupil of Admiral Nelson. The other Lieutenants are 4th Lieutenant Archie Kennedy, 2nd Lieutenant William Bush, and 1st Lieutenant Buckland. Despite his reputation, Sawyer is a cruel man whose crew does not respect him. Sawyer remains oblivious, much to Hornblower's discomfort.
