K-pop boy band Super Junior released their new album “Mamacita” and made their first TV performance on Aug. 29.

“Mamacita” is the group’s seventh album and it contains 10 tracks including the title song “Mamacita,” “Shirt,” “Midnight Blues,” “Let’s Dance” and “This is Love.”

The music video for “Mamacita” featured cowboy and matador concepts. It has garnered 2.8 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube last August 28.

According to SM Entertainment, “Mamacita” is an “urban new jack swing genre song, with drum sound based on rhythmical Indian percussion and piano melody.”

The album also marked the return of leader Leeteuk who was discharged from the army last July.

Super Junior made their comeback performance on KBS “Music Bank” on August 29.

In a press conference for the album, Super Junior members expressed their feelings about their return to the music scene.

“I really missed it. I think the time has come for me to go back to the stage. I was worried whether or not I would be able to stand on stage with the members again but the time has finally come,” said Leeteuk, according to ENewsWorld.

Heechul said, “You might think that it’s obvious, but we really worked hard while preparing for this album.”

Leeteuk said when he was in his early ’20s, his focus was on winning first place on music programs.

“But now I feel more relaxed. While I was away in the army for a year and nine months, my biggest concern was, ‘What does it mean to be an adult.’ I’m still lacking to be an adult. I think my biggest goal now is to have breadth of mind and work hard without feeling rushed,” he said.

Super Junior debuted in 2005 and Leeteuk said the members became more involved in making the new album.

“Super Junior will be entering its 10th year since our debut. If we include our trainee years, it has been 15 years. Since it has been a long time, I was worried that we might be closing our ears off to others. So we put together a lot of advice from people around us. I think we participated more in this album than any others,” he said.
