"Same Heart" was used in a mobile game called "i-Musician".[1] It was first released on June 2, 2009, and was later included on the album Revolution.
The lead single "Wanna" was released on July 28, 2009, ahead of the album's official release. The music video was released on July 29, with the full album being available on July 30.[2] Promotional activities commenced on July 31, beginning with KBS's Music Bank; the group performed both "Wanna" and "Mister".[3] On August 30, 2009, "Wanna" won the "Mutizen Song" award from SBS's Inkigayo music program.[4]
"Mister" proved to be popular with viewers due to a "butt dance" that is featured prominently in the choreography.[3][5] Due to the overwhelming response that "Mister" received, Kara's overall popularity increased, with numerous advertisement requests coming in for the group; they had more advertisements in October 2009 than the previous two years.[6]
