Background
The release of Dal Shabet's album was announced on May 28, 2013. Happy Face Entertainment explained, "Dal Shabet are currently in the final stages of recording and production. This album is perfect for the sweltering summer. The concept has the girls baring a lot of skin, so they're currently in the process of working out. They'll show you a side of themselves you've never seen before." On June 2, 2013, it was confirmed by their agency that the group would be returning on June 20, 2013, with an album consisting of self-wrote and composed songs. On June 11 and 16, 2013, music video teasers for the title track were released to the public. On June 18, 2013, it was announced that the lyrics to "내 다리를 봐 (Be Ambitious)" were unfit for public broadcast due to sexual content and would have to be changed in order for the group to promote on television. Their company complied the same day and changed the lyrics in question. Two days later, the members of Dal Shabet attended a private showcase for the release of their album. While at the showcase, the members addressed their sexual content controversy, by stating, "Since the promotional track is called ''Look At My Legs (Be Ambitious)'' the album jacket and music video filming were all focused on our legs. We think that's why people are worried about it being too sexual. When the song is released, people will realize that's not true. We're going to become a sexy, but cute, Dal Shabet through this album."달샤벳 쇼케이스, 다리만 보시면 부끄럽단말이예요Composition

The group stated, "The lyrics and music video of "Be Ambitious" depreciate both women and men, and it's harmful to the youth. The music video also contains scenes that depreciate the 600,000 soldiers that are working hard in their enlistment." On July 11, 2013, Happy Face Entertainment and 'Man of Korea' held a joint conference, where they discussed the lawsuit. Following the conference, 'Man of Korea' officially announced they would be dropping their lawsuit against Dal Shabet's "Be Ambitious".
