Background

"Under My Skin" was composed by the Danish producers Remee and Thomas Troelsen,[1] while lyrics were contributed by Sarah Connor and O. G. Fortuna.[1] A different version of Remee and Troelsen's backing track was bought by Korean label SM Entertainment in January 2008, to be recorded by boy badn TVXQ. Re-titled "Mirotic," it features lyrics by Yoo Young-jin and Ryoji Sonoda and was released as the lead single from their fourth studio album Mirotic in September of the same year.[2] Despite the fact that the two original songs were the same composed piece, they have musical differences. While Lucas Secon is credited as a writer on "Mirotic," he is not credited on "Under My Skin."[1]
