"Magic" is a single released by South Korean boy band Super Junior on September 16, 2015. It is the lead single of the repackage album of the same name. The single is the last single to feature the vocals of Kangin before his hiatus in 2017 and eventual departure from the group in 2019.[2] Additionally, this single was the group's last release before the majority of its members are undergoing their mandatory military service.
The single was then released in Japanese on January 6, 2016, alongside "Devil", and both tracks were later featured on the band's Japanese compilation album, Star.[3] [4]
Composition
"Magic" has the same love-related themes as the four new tracks on the repackaged album. The single has groovy sounds with funky guitars and bass.[5]
Music video
The music video for "Magic" was released on the same day as the single's release on September 16, 2015.
The music video shows the members trying to outdo one another to impress and grab a girl's attention. Eventually, Kangin won in the end.[6]
