"Hommage to Lovey Dovey" is the debut single by South Korea boy group Speed. Speed is part of the Core Contents Media and was formed as a sub-unit of Co-Ed School and the all-male counterpart the all female sub-unit known as 5dolls. The promotional single for the album was called "Lovey Dovey-Plus".
In January 2012, the sub-units name, Speed was revealed along with the announcement that they would release the digital single "Lovey Dovey-Plus", a "hommage" track to T-ara's hit "Lovey-Dovey". T-ara ex-member Ryu Hwayoung and her twin sister Ryu Hyoyoung (from 5dolls) were featured in the music video.[1] Speed followed the release of the single with two weeks of promotions on music shows.
Speed's agency, GM Contents Media requested to rearrange T-ara's "Lovey-Dovey" in their own style and participated in the arrangement with the permission of T-ara's agency, Core Contents Media resulting in the song "Lovey-Dovey Plus".
The music video for "Lovey-Dovey Plus" reminds us of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". T-ara former member Ryu Hwayoung and her twin sister Ryu Hyoyoung (from 5dolls) were featured in the music video.
